Fibra Design breathes new life and purpose into HDPE plastic waste containers through the creation of handwoven products, embracing the art of upcycling. Founded in Guatemala, this initiative thrives in a central location that serves as a crucial link between North and South America. Guatemala, with its distinct charm, cultural richness, and vibrant textile traditions, provides the ideal backdrop for this innovative venture.
Fibra Design's hallmark lies in weaving recycled plastic threads, championing 100% Guatemalan designs and production. This endeavor has cultivated a close-knit community of skilled plastic weavers, artisans, and product designers, all of whom are remarkable women. These dedicated individuals primarily hail from the vicinity surrounding the municipal garbage landfill.
Every handwoven product that emerges from Fibra Design's workshop is a tribute to the extraordinary women who bring it to life. Their unwavering belief centers on empowering women within their communities through dignified work, ultimately contributing to the creation of a better living environment for their children and future generations.
