Solution presented by the students of Chinese University of Hong Kong

Started in Hong Kong by four students from The Chinese University of Hong Kong, this project introduces an innovative approach, more practical, convenient, and sustainable-friendly, to address textile and plastic waste issues by upcycling used clothing into eco-friendly grocery bags. By offering an alternative to purchasing new or upcycled bags at high costs, the initiative aims to educate and empower individuals with practical skills while contributing to tackling climate change.
