Do you often have concerns about the plastic grocery bags dumped in your kitchen corners? To prevent ourselves from creating unnecessary pollution, instead of throwing these plastics bags, we bring them home and reuse for many purposes. The designers at Cairo-based Reform Studio taking notice of this waste have come up with an innovative solution – turning plastic grocery bags into fabric!

According to Reform, the average use of a plastic bag is a mere 12-minute, and it’s ironic that this object is made from a material that takes an eternity to biodegrade. So, the Reform team created a durable and eco-friendly fabric, using recycled plastic bags as raw materials, rightly named as Plastex. Plastex has high durability, and is washable as well. Also, as plastic bags come in a wide variety of colours, Plastex does too. In addition to the unique recycled fibre, Plastex fabric is woven using a traditional Egyptian handloom.
