We met with the team from Dunshaughlin Community College as they begin their journey to the 2022 Junk Kouture competition.

The international competition is growing each year with its emphasis on recycling and sustainability focused on garments.

Eve and Laura met us at our recycling facility in Dunboyne where we safely stored hundreds of aluminium cans that were received from the general public. Eve and Laura diligently removed the ‘ring-pulls’ from each can as this was the secret ingredient for their dress design.

The team promise to send us some more updates as they progress the construction of the design.

We look forward to seeing how this one works out. Has your school got involved? Then send us in your designs and we’ll share them on our website.
