Funky Junk Recycled Tote Bag

Funky Junk Recycled aims to provide sustainable income for a group of local Cambodian people without a major investment in technology, equipment, or capacity building. By creating a self-sustaining enterprise, they use best business practices as a means of improving peoples' living environment, while helping them to gain a source of income and a sense of self-worth.

All products are made from discarded plastic bags, collected by trash pickers from the towns and countryside, and delivered to the Funky Junk centre. Here they are washed, disinfected and dried in the sun before being sorted by colour. The bags are cut and made into yarn, which is then crocheted into bags. Supporting Funky Junk means contributing to a cleaner environment and providing fair trade income, training and community benefits for its local producers.
