Torque – Our Own English High School Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

IMPACT OF PROJECT

Our project is aimed towards reducing cloth waste by reusing it to make useful products such as bags, pouches, masks, etc. We collected scrap cloth and unused notebook pages and made bags, pouches and books out of them and created our sustainable school kits- made entirely out of things classified as ‘waste’. However, the project was put on hold due to COVID 19 restrictions. We then shifted our focus to making cloth masks, and had an online campaign in which over 120 individuals made cloth masks by following our tutorials.
