Remesh

Remesh is one of the circular economy workshops of the Ateliere Fără Frontiere Association, where advertising materials from buildings (banners and meshes) are recovered and transformed into ethical and sustainable fashion products. Since 2011, remesh recovers advertising materials from buildings (banners and meshes) and transforms them into ethical and sustainable fashion products.  

The lifespan of existing advertising materials on building facades is limited, and once the promotion campaign is over, the banners and meshes are sent directly to the landfill for incineration. An extremely harmful process for the environment and the air we breathe, because many advertising materials are made of PVC, which contains chlorine. Thus, transforming them through the upcycling process into new sustainable products is the most effective solution for environmental protection. The workers in the remesh workshop are disabled people who belong to vulnerable groups, mostly women, mothers with several children and with a very difficult past, who have been victims of domestic violence or human trafficking, or homeless adults, persons deprived of liberty, accumulating addictions or disabilities.
