Plasticity

They say that one man's trash is another man's treasure, and for Tessa O'Halloran, founder and owner of Plasticity, plastic waste is the most valuable of treasures. While the world grows increasingly aware of the lasting environmental damage from plastic waste, many people have sought ways to transform discarded plastic and textiles into a more sustainable alternative — and Tessa is one of them. Since 2017, her Eastern Cape-based brand transforms waste materials into functional, stylish products such as handbags and pencil cases that add value to everyday life, while providing employment opportunities.
