Trochet - Saudi Arabia
"Upcycling Saudi women out of poverty"
Trash + Crochet = Trochet
Who would have thought that recycled garbage could be a trendy fashion statement? Trochet is a new startup to support women in need in Saudi Arabia. The project gathered recycled plastic bags and sends them to women in high poverty areas around Saudi Arabia who then knit or crochet the material into creative products such as coasters, pillows, yoga mats, and bags. The revenue from the sold products are cycled back to the women who are then able to support themselves. This new project is gaining public attention all around the globe and currently working on expanding.
