Recycled Fashion

Conserve India is an upcycling project in Delhi. They upcycle plastic bags that litter the city streets and transform them into fashion accessories such as, bags and belts. The project not only aims to tackle the growing mountain of litter, but also employs locals, paying fair wages that can provide a solid income.
"Handmade Recycled Plastic is created through a unique method of upcycling plastic bags.  Because the plastic is kept in its original form and colour, Conserve's upcycling technique uses much less energy than traditional recycling and we don't need dyes.  A green way of making fashion from waste – Handmade Recycled Plastic is surely a material of the future!"
