Our Past Projects
Teh Botol Sosro
Liberty Society transforms Tehbotol Sosro's waste into trendy t-shirts and stylish tote bags. 1 shirt alone is produced from 8 Teh Botol bottles, and 1 tote bag is recycled from 23 tetra packs. This action also promotes Indonesia's biodiversity as with every 100 shirts and tote bags sold, a tree is planted in Kalimantan.
UNIQLO
Through their Upcycling Project Initiative with UNHCR, Liberty Society's refugee women are able to harness their skills by converting leftover fabric to new items such as pouches, accessories, and cardholders. Any profit generated is donated to the refugees to cater to their welfare needs.
Love & Flair
Liberty Society joined hands with Love & Flair to encourage women to support each other by reinvesting the profit from every purchase of these upcycled scrunchies, made from their deadstock material, back to our House of Freedom where we train and upskill refugee women who are affected by violence and poverty.
Body Shop
Using 100% PET bottles, we turned the bottles into RPET sheets into products that was planned to be used as packaging of Body Shop End of Year product lines
Botanical Essentials x Garuda Indonesia
In collaboration with Botanical Essentials and Garuda Indonesia, we make an upcycled pouch made out of their old seat cover. This shows the innovation and contribution to the planet, upcycling waste into new functional goods.
Blibli (Langkah Membumi)
Langkah Membumi is a collaborative campaign by Liberty Society and Blibli Cinta Bumi about taking small simple steps to give back to the planet & humankind. At our exhibition, we showcase our upcycled products made from e-commerce waste. We collected 500 kgs of e-commerce waste and transformed them into 2,000 products consisting of pouches, laptop sleeves, tote bags, and phone holders.
Deloitte
Deloitte Indonesia's "Trash to Treasure" campaign aims to educate and engage Deloitte employees with activations to advocate the importance of corporate & individual sustainability. To support this movement, we worked with Deloitte to integrate a waste management system into the company and upcycle their waste. We repurposed 454kg of low-density polyethylene plastic upcycled to be
2,010 laptop sleeves and cardholders as internal merchandise.
