WATER PLASTIC CONCEPT

In Haiti there is no widespread access to clean water supply and trash collection.

THE SOLUTION: Repurposing.

When most Haitians want to drink clean water they must buy it in either plastic bottles or in little water pouches  for about 4 US cents a bag. While this is an immediate solution to the lack of clean drinking water it leads to long-term environmental problems caused by the disposal of the plastic bags which are thrown in the streets, rivers and surrounding areas, which end up polluting the ocean, limiting the fishing industry, littering  the beaches of the country and on other island nations, as well as, the coast of Florida.

The plastic is then connected and sewn into new products such as repurposed jeans, t-shirts and other sustainable fabrics that give our tote bags unique style and vibrant colors. Thus far we saved hundreds of bags from polluting the land, rivers, ocean in the Caribbean and Floridian coasts.
