The Art of Up-cycling ♻️🪄🔮 How a Nigerian artist puts landfill waste ➡️ galleries? 👊🏽 Nigerian-born visionary artist Zona Strings - transforms trash into treasure. What's outstanding for me? 🌳 He repurposes the box, the packing peanuts, and probably the delivery truck too! 🌳 Zona's artistic palette includes discarded clothes, pins, food, and even rubber bands – proving that one man's junk drawer is another man's art supply store. 🌳 His creations are a masterclass in the 7 R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, 🌳 Zona's work is a vibrant reminder that talent, like waste, is universal. Look around - what waste pile can you transform? #circulareconomy #zerowaste #environment Thanks Wangechi Kuria for the inspiration

#Gabon_Economie | Réconcilier les aspirations de la jeunesse gabonaise avec les besoins du marché du travail est un défi majeur. Malgré un tiers des jeunes au chômage, deux tiers des emplois peinent à trouver preneurs. J’estime qu’une réforme du système éducatif, de meilleurs interactions école-entreprise et la promotion de l’économie verte sont les clés pour offrir à la jeunesse des perspectives d’emplois épanouissants au Gabon.

Ce jour là, Mouhammad Ali avait décidé d'aller regarder Tyson s'entraîner. Dès que Tyson l'a vu entrer, il a tout laissé tomber, a sauté hors du ring comme un ouragan et est allé se mettre à genoux pour saluer Ali. Il y a une puissance cachée derrière la reconnaissance et la gratitude. Tu n'es pas grand, si tu ne sais pas reconnaître ceux qui sont devenus grands avant toi et qui ont planté l'arbre sous lequel tu te caches du soleil. Bonne journée Guelor IBARA NGATSE

A new documentary about fast fashion and negative on environment. Creating too much desire and impulse buying causing a lot of issues for the consumer goods industry. How can we sell and market in a sustainable way? As a manufacturer and textile recycler I just want stable business and provide solutions to the industry as we transitioning to a sustainable economy. #fashion #sustainability #textile #documentary https://lnkd.in/eBrfkVJj

Textile waste recycling: what does the fate of Renewcell and Infinited Fiber Company tell us? The fashion industry just got hit with some pretty important news about textile waste recycling in the last weeks. 👉 First, textile-to-textile (T2T) recycler Infinited Fiber Company in Finland announced that it is laying off staff to “adjust the company’s cost structure and operations” due to the failure to find more financing. 👉 Second, the Swedish recycler Renewcell went bankrupt, knocking another leading T2T recycler off the map. Both companies were operating far under production capacity. These events should be a shock to the fashion industry as the two firms were seen as leaders in textile recycling technology and saviors of the fashion industry. H&M was an investor in both companies and Inditex (ZARA SA) pledged to buy €100M in material from them. The mantra of the fast fashion industry has always been that “closed loop” T2T recycling will solve the textile waste problem. What went wrong? Various articles point out a variety of reasons for the failures, from the high cost of such recycled material vs. low cost of virgin textiles to the mismatch of the recycled pulp to clothing production machines in Asia, to lack of support from governments. (it's misleading as EIB and other gov. inst. extensively supported these companies). It is important to mention that both H&M and Inditex also had pre-signed contracts with both companies to buy their recycled textile materials and apparently backed out of the deals. So something clearly has gone wrong here. Even if the companies had succeeded, the impact on the 12 million tons of textile waste per year in Europe would have been less than 1%. 👉 First, Renewcell plant capacity was planned at 60,000 tons/year and Infinited Fiber Company 30,000 tons/year. 👉 Second, they only recycle cellulose-based waste, not synthetic materials, which is about 70% of all textile waste. ⚠ The answer is that clothing retailers and governments must stop their wishful thinking and realize that T2T recycling is not the answer to the problem. That is due to the complexity of the industry and the clothing itself, where complete T2T recycling is not that easy. However, it is too little, too late, and something else must be done. ❗ That is why it's time for clothing retailers and governments to think out of the box about what else can be done with 92 million tons of textile waste yearly! ♻ This is where companies like Greenful Group step in with a scalable business model that uses textile waste in very high volumes to manufacture sustainable construction materials that are 100% eco-friendly and low CO2. 👍 So there is still hope on the horizon if clothing retailers and governments get out of their narrow mindset for a complete “closed loop” solution and start thinking about other possible solutions. Otherwise, we will all be buried under the mountains of textile waste. #textile2textile #textilerecycling #textilewaste

Être une femme… C’est en ce jour de la fête de la femme que je me rends compte de tous ce qui a été fait depuis des siècles pour enfin être à l’honneur. Aujourd’hui j’ai écouté que les hommes n’ont pas de fête et je comprend pourquoi Définir le mot émancipation est pour ma part très simple « quitter d’un état à un autre, pour atteindre un niveau adéquat pour bénéficier de quoi que ce soit » et comprendre que la femme était considérée comme un sous homme. Je suis une femme et en vrai je peux vous affirmer que les préjugés que l’on subit des hommes qu’on aime n’en finissent pas, des grandes au plus petits, de nos pères, frères, amis, connaissances et même de celui qui partage notre vie. Vivre émanciper, une émancipation que seul peut être la loi reconnaît et prône pour se ranger du côté des droits humains, mais que mêmes les mentalités les plus sensibles ne reconnaissent pas. Je vous assure émancipation ou pas je suis fière d’être une femme, et même si l’émancipation est devenu être chouchouter par les lois qui mettent en avant le genre, même si pour moi c’est toujours une façon de nous diminuer en nous appelant le sexe faible, les personnes vulnérables et j’en passe… Ça mets en doute tout cela…?… Mais bon, je prends parce que je le mérite pour tous les femmes qui ont défendu cette idéologie de vouloir se sentir importante et de le prouver Et ce 8 mars, cette date honore… Honore Olympe de Gouges, Angela Davis, George Sand, Sojourner Truth, Hubertine Auclert, Mary Wollstonecraft, Louise Weiss, Maud Wood Park, Eva Perón, Christine de Pizan… Et mêmes celles qui ne sont pas connus et ne le seront jamais. Alors je suis fière pour elles, pour leurs efforts du plus petits au plus grands. Et aux hommes, je vous dis les gas si vous voulez être chouchouter et materner par les lois et avoir plus de fêtes dans l’année svp messieurs émancipez vous…
