Reuse Project

In Taiwan, millions of banners are produced out of companies and candidates’ need for promotion. All these banners can weigh several hundred tons in total every year. While the amount is so big, the average“life cycle” of these banners is sadly short--only two weeks. Afterwards, they are thrown away because their raw materials are not recyclable. These wastes become a great burden to the nature. 

On the other hand, the beautiful Chinese characters and pictures on each banner presents different aspects of Taiwan's culture. “Why don’t we upcycle the banners, at the same time, reduce the quantity of trash? ” 

We start developing projects based on the concept “Reduce, Reuse & Upcycle”, and collaborating with students, artists, NGOs, and government officials. Annually, we organize creative exhibitions to advocate environmental education. From the economic perspective, participating in the remade process of the banner products helps the underprivileged make a living themselves. 

We believe that everyone should treasure their lives and resources, and make lives easier and simpler. 

理念介紹

透過回收再利用的創作，推廣落實零廢棄全回收的目標，讓每一個人發揮其所能，以關懷實踐環保，促使每一分的資源得到善用。
Our idea
Everyone who joins this project will share their creativities and work together to give the recycling materials new lives! We treasure our island, and this is our goal to build Taiwan a non-rubbish country that we can make good use of everything.

Idea

Every person has his /her own unique value,including the underprivileged. We invite our physical/psychological challenged partners to join the production line. Their hard work creates a new life for these used banners and turms them into highly useful and quique bags. These banners keep a cultural record of Taiwan's memories. More than just a product, the banner bags are the best materials to present Taiwan.

Process

1. Collect Banners
2.Choose the clean, special,cultural ones
3. Give them to our NGO partners or volunteers to design and remake.
4. Spread the ideas and welcome feedback.
