South Africa’s penguins are worth billions, experts say

Michael Cherry 18 Mar 2025

On Global Recycling Day (18 March 2025), we celebrate the power of rethinking waste. These dedicated hands, belonging to a Re.Bag.Re.Use team member, are skilfully transforming empty Blue Ribbon bread bags into a beautifully handcrafted, multifunctional bag. By upcycling, we extend the life of plastic before it enters the recycling stream, proving that waste can hold real value. True sustainability goes beyond recycling - it’s about reducing, reusing, and repurposing to create lasting environmental and social impact.

Recycling vs. upcycling: What’s the difference and why it matters?
