Re.Bag.Re.Use is a community project in Hout Bay that turns plastic bags into beautiful handmade items like bags and placemats. Led by Regine le Roux, it helps local women earn money while cleaning up plastic pollution. By cutting and crocheting plastic “plarn,” these women create colorful, useful products that tell a story of hope and creativity. This project shows how trash can become treasure when people work together with skill and heart.
