Circular Nepal: Upcycling for Education

A circular-economy initiative turning recovered textiles into useful products and educational opportunities.

Circular Nepal

Recover textiles. Create useful products. Support learning.

Circular Nepal: Upcycling for Education is a national circular-economy initiative developed by Chakraviu Nepal. It connects textile recovery, local production, schools, communities, private-sector partners, and other stakeholders to turn textile waste into educational resources and useful products.

The archived program description says Chakraviu Nepal works with post-consumer denim to produce school bags, stationery pouches, and other functional products while creating opportunities for skills development and income generation.
