2025 Upcycling Project “TEXTILE REUSE AND UPCYCLING PILOT PROJECT”
GARSON & SHAW ALWAYS SEEKS TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT INITIATIVES THAT HELP PROTECT THE ENVIRONMENT THROUGH TEXTILE REUSE.
FOR A GREENER & MORE SUSTAINABLE WORLD.
Firmly committed to building a more sustainable world, one that is more conscious of our textile consumption, Garson & Shaw Central America has started a project in Costa Rica focused on textile upcycling; called: TEXTILE REUSE AND UPCYCLING PILOT PROJECT; in partnership with the Instituto Nacional de Aprendizaje (INA) National Learning Institute (INA) and Téikiq, Clúster de innovación TIC de Costa Rica en la Zona Norte, a Costa Rican technological innovation cluster. This project seeks to raise environmental awareness and to create a sustainable textile cooperative based on the concept of upcycling, thereby contributing to the reuse of clothing, generating income for local communities.
Since 2023, Garson & Shaw Central America, established in Costa Rica, has been dedicated to promoting and supporting social projects which seek to generate wellbeing in local communities and to educate and inform on the importance of textile reuse and how the secondhand clothing industry boosts the protection of the natural resources and the generation of social well-being worldwide. That's why this upcycling project, with social and environmental purpose, is a fundamental part of the work being done in the Central American country.
