With increasing global interest on climate change and consumptive economic models in a post-globalised world, we came to a time where there's a need to discuss on  alternative approaches to crafts, addressing sustainability across environment, economic and culture through crafts, and explore new economic models, systems and ways of collaborating.

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we have seen the importance of working through digital collaboration, increasing the needs for impactful storytelling, to address the social, economic and cultural issues that surround the crafts sector.

Through craft week, we want to take on this momentum to celebrate craftmanship, makers, and materials in Indonesia, highlighting the importance of climate change and sustainable models, eco-friendly materials by opening conversations and rising discussions on the issue.

Crafting Waste as a Business Opportunity by Manual Jakarta

One man's trash is another man's treasure. This age-old saying indicates that the value of things depends on the person who receives/finds it. In today's context, this saying seems to hold a more powerful message because with the help of technology, ideas and innovation fueled by our ecological consciousness, landfills aren't our trash's final destination anymore. And today, we're here to talk about the newfound business opportunity of using waste as a revenue source. 

Speakers:

  • Hana Surya (Threadapeutic)
  • Adhitya Prayoga (Waste4Change)
  • Sarah (Bye Bye Plastic Bags)

Moderator: Julius Kensan (Editor-in-Chief of Manual Jakarta)
