Upcycling of Used Truck Tarpaulins

Reducing our waste and helping to create employment opportunities for socially disadvantaged young people in our community. For us it’s been a win-win situation since 2016.

In cooperation with tag.werk, a youth employment program by international charity organization Caritas in Graz, Austria, we give our old truck tarps the chance to start a new life. In addition to recycling tarpaulins that are no longer needed, this project provides employment for young people in a simple and unbureaucratic way. After the used tarpaulins are washed, cut and sewn, they are ready to begin their new lives as fashionable shoulder bags and toiletry bags.
