JUNK NOT

WHAT is Junk Not!

We design so we can help make a good impact on society. Junk not! envisions to help, in its small-scale way, solve two problems that our society is facing: (1) Waste Management and its Environmental Impact, and (2) Lack of Livelihood of the communities.

Through Junk not! we find creative ways to transform regular plastic waste into functional furniture pieces, while providing livelihood to a community and protecting the environment.

Junk not! Provides the following services:

• Upcycled Plastic Waste. Our main product line is furniture out of plastic waste using the principle of innovative repurpose, re-use and upcycle of plastic waste.
• Community Empowerment. All products are crafted by a community that is supported by the brand to give them livelihood opportunities and be the protector of the environment.
• Green Interior Services. Promote green living using the principle of innovative recycling and re-use of junk and by using local, sustainable materials.
