UNI Green

UNI Green is a social innovation project connecting schools and retired garment workers to recycle and upcycle old school uniforms and educate primary and secondary students on sustainable fashion.

“UNI” stands for Uniform and Unique. The program helps repurpose old uniform to unique souvenirs. The schools joining the program will first collect the old uniforms and let other parents take them. For the uniforms that are of poor quality or are not taken by the parents will be upcycled and repurposed as school souvenirs or to be used in the upcycling workshop. We promote inclusive economy by hiring housewives and elderly to assist in the garment work and upcycling workshops.

Being a platform for garment workers to do good in the community and earn livings at their retired age, UNI Green alleviates poverty and advocates social exclusion, alongside extending and enhancing the lifespan and value of the pre-loved uniforms.
