We’re upcycling textile waste to produce Dolls – @Ecodesigns textile upcycled product of the Week

Every week, we profile one of our textile recycled products. Dolls are our textile upcycled product of the week.

Why make Dolls?

• Almost every dolls in the Cameroonian market is imported and this is not doing any good to our economy.
• The imported dolls are mostly made from plastic and when they get bad, they contribute to plastic pollution.
• The imported dolls are very expensive and as such, most families can’t afford to purchase dolls for their kids.

The @ecodesigns textile dolls

At @ecodesigns, we are crafting simple and beautiful dolls from textile waste and giving children the joy and fun of having toys to play with. Our dolls are stuffed with textile offcuts, hence contribute in keeping textile waste out of the environment. As compared to imported plastic dolls that sell at $5 and above, our dolls cost $2 and are recyclable.
When we sell our dolls, we ask our clients to bring them back to us in case they get torn or in case they no longer like it so that we can mend it or repurpose it to always look great. With our @ecodesigns dolls, we are putting on smiles on the faces of children.

We can do more but we lack materials and machines to increase our textile recycling and women empowerment project. We have 11 trainees and 02 Training Directors but have just 06 machines which are not enough for the 13 young girls who are striving to get empowered as well as clean-up the world. It is for this reason that that @ecodesigns is striving to raise funds to purchase 7 machines so that we can double our productivity and improve the effectiveness and efficiency of our textile recycling and fashion designing training.
