Packaging and creative recycling: fashion performance "Waste is Taste" held in Mostar
Costumes and creations made from packaging waste and other
discarded materials were presented in Mostar.
Last Saturday, July 19th 2014 in Mostar, with the
performance of the Artist Association „Bellarte“ , costumes and fashion designs
made of packaging waste and other materials were presented. The designs were
created at the „Waste is Taste“ workshop in the Association for the promotion
of cultural creativity „Mlaz“ in Počitelj.
The main objective of the performance is to give new value
to the packaging waste and materials that would otherwise end up on landfills
by transforming them to costumes and high fashion designs. That way,
„Bellarte“, „Mlaz“ and Ekopak are
raising awareness about the different ways of packaging waste reuse and
recovery.
Ekopk, as a friend of the „Waste is Taste“ project, provided waste bins for separate
collection of packaging waste. That way
visitors had the opportunity to properly dispose their packaging waste, which
will be prepared and handed to recycling by Ekopaks collector „Duga“ ltd.
