Cooperation with Stara Tržnica in Bratislava

A demonstration of the circular economy in practice - returning discarded material back into circulation and making products from it that people will use with pleasure, repeatedly and for a long time.

In cooperation with Stara Tržnica in Bratislava, we created upcycled merch for visitors from unnecessary event banners, as well as HACHAI beanbags for the chill zone.

Stará Tržnica is a place for events of various kinds, which means that it is also a place where "overdue" event banners accumulate. However, this does not automatically mean that they are single-use banners and should be thrown in the trash after the event. Fortunately, the people in Stará Tržnica know this and concepts like upcycling and recycling are not foreign to
them at all. Therefore, they approached us for cooperation, the goal of which is to transform discarded banners into products with added value for people visiting this magical place.

From the first batch of banners, we made HACHAI beanbags in three sizes. These bags create a space where people can comfortably sit and relax during various events and activities. They are suitable for both exterior and interior, they are light, so it is possible to move them where they are needed. In the next stage of cooperation, we made products from banners for Stará Tržnica, which visitors can purchase during the regular Saturday markets and take home a high-quality upcycled piece that also has a very practical and long-term use. In the information booth at the entrance you can find bags and pouches of various sizes, cuts and designs. Attention, each piece is original and thanks to the interesting graphic prints on the banners, the products from them are unique and diverse.

By purchasing these products, you will support not only the circular economy in Slovakia, but also the reduction of waste, the saving of emissions, people from disadvantaged social groups and, last but not least, the activities of OZ Stará Tržnica and the activities of WAKIVAKY j. s. a.
