XS means excess...
Each one of our handmade one-of-a-kind products is manufactured using consumer waste.
XSProject started as an artist's expression against the impact of consumerism on the environment. It evolved into a World Fair Trade Organisation recognised foundation which uses design & education to clean up the environment and help Indonesia’s poor.
- We purchase waste packaging from trashpickers who collect it from residential areas of Jakarta, Indonesia.
- We provide sustainable employment to our craftspeople, making products using the cleaned waste plastic packaging material.
At XSProject, our goals are to:
- Maximize the amount of waste we can collect and use, diverting it from polluting the environment
- Maximize the creation of sustainable livelihoods.
- Assist trashpickers in raising their living standards.
We are constantly refining our production processes to ensure the highest international standards in hygiene, quality and productivity. We experiment with newer, more complex designs, while exploring further the inherent properties of different packaging materials.
