Giving People New Minds, Changing Waste to New Products

 


Touch4Good initiated up-cycling by facing the unpleasant truth that banners are being used everywhere and buried under the land thoughtlessly.

Up-cycling, is the smart recycling practice of converting waste material into products of greater value. The company is converting waste material or useless products such as abandoned banners and advertisement boards at subway stations into new materials or products of better quality or a higher environmental value, including bags and wallets. The firm awakens people to the fact that recklessly abandoned used banners are contaminating our environment, naturally leading them to act in a better way to solve the problem.
