Trash to Treasure
Trash to Treasure Programme uses art as a powerful tool to engage youth communities and promote sustainability awareness alongside the Sustainability Expo. This initiative aims to reduce waste and maximize its value, inspiring the general public, especially young people, to contribute to advancing sustainable development.
The contest welcomes school, university, and college students of all nationalities to participate in two categories: 2D and 3D artwork. Participants transform easy-to-find trash and waste materials into meaningful art pieces. Materials such as plastic bags, PET bottles, paper boxes, aluminum cans, and plastic straws are creatively repurposed to showcase their value and potential.
By transforming waste into impactful artwork, the contest raises awareness and encourages communities, particularly youth, to take an active role in sustainable development and waste reduction. This initiative fosters a collective effort toward a greener, more sustainable future.
