Frustrated by fast fashion or your exploding wardrobe? You’re not alone – at this interactive booth, you’ll get to learn about the environmental impact of textile waste in Singapore. Be inspired by creative solutions as you browse the display of meaningful and functional upcycled items created from deadstock fabrics and old school uniforms.
Booth 4: Shred & Build – Plastic Recycling for a Green Future
Experience the magic of plastic recycling and watch a plastic shredding machine in action. Bring along with you some clean plastic waste and shred your plastic waste into fine chips, ready to be upcycled into new and useful objects. This is a unique chance to experience a practical lesson on which types of plastics can and cannot be recycled.
Booth 5: Glass to Ground – Building Pavements with Purpose
For more hands-on fun, experience glass crashing, where glass bottles are transformed into useful glass sand! Exchange your clean, used glass bottles for a glass crashing experience and watch as the “glass sand” gets mixed with cement and water to form cement slabs. The slabs will then be used for actual pavements at Ground-up Initiative’s new Kampung Kampus. Imagine how cool it will be to one day walk on pavements that were created from recycled glass that you crushed yourself!
Booth 6: Scraps to Soil – Composting for a Greener Future
One man’s trash is another’s treasure, and at this interactive booth, you can learn how to turn kitchen scraps into nutrient-rich gardening gold! Discover how composting reduces waste and turns fruit and vegetable scraps into homemade compost. You’ll also get to bring home a sample to kickstart your own composting journey.
Booth 7: Peels to Power – Nature’s Cleaner
Unlock another use for discarded fruit peels at this fun interactive booth. Learn how combining fruit peels with simple ingredients like sugar and water can turn them into a powerful natural cleaner that replaces chemical detergents. As a bonus, you will receive a bottle of ready-to-use Garbage Enzyme to bring home with you (while stocks last).
Booth 8: Page to Pledge – Crafting Change with Paper
Be inspired by beautifully crafted lifestyle items made from recycled paper. With a bit of creativity and a spark of inspiration, there is really so much that can be done to upcycle paper waste into both functional and decorative items.
