Garbags?

“Since the start of the Garbags project in 2009, we have collected 28,456 coffee packets, 21,450 milk and juice packets, 1,180 shampoo bottles and toothpaste tubes, 1,265 coffee capsules and 2,350 assorted used packages, stopping them going to land-fill,” said Tânia Sofia Moreira Anselma, the manager of Garbags.
This is the equivalent of transporting all the furniture from a three-bedroom apartment. Garbags inspires people to think about their daily waste and to regard it in a different way.
Garbags recycles waste, transforming it into nice fashion accessories that are durable, tough, practical, fun and make people dream. It is collected or donated locally and each product is individually cut and produced in Portugal. Environmentally friendly companies can be partners of garbags (eco-partners) by providing their waste, which takes on a new lease of life and is transformed into exclusively designed fashion accessories or other gifts.
