Babu Kaji Maharjan, 82, walks with a handbag, slippers and a waistcoat he made from plastic waste at his home in Patan, Lalitpur, Nepal, 05 June 2023. Babu Kaji retired from his job at the age of sixty. One day after his retirement, he was walking in a vegetable market when he saw a 10-year-old girl making thread from plastic. "At that moment, I realized that I could make outfits and sell them using this waste material." The ten-year-old girl became an inspiration in his life. Since that day, Babu Kaji has been making a variety of outfits, such as Nepali caps, shoes, waistcoats, and handbags. "Although I don't have a formal showroom or shops to sell them, those who know about my products visit my home to purchase them. Foreigners especially like my products and buy them. Now, my daughter-in-law and friends bring plastic waste for me, so I don't have to search for it myself. It takes about 300 plastic milk packages to make one handbag, and it takes about 3-4 days to complete. I believe that by using waste plastic, I am contributing to the environment, and I no longer have to depend on my sons for pocket money." The World will mark 2023 Environment Day on 05 June with a focus on 'solutions to plastic pollution'. EPA-EFE/NARENDRA SHRESTHA

Shotaro Kawamura, President of Tokyo Kimono Shoes speaks at the store on June 06, 2023, in Tokyo, Japan. In Japan, people generally only wear kimono (traditional Japanese robes that are often elaborately decorated with patterns and motifs) for special occasions. The company says that more than 30 trillion yen (about 215 billion USD) worth of kimonos are stored in chests across Japan, most of which are discarded without being worn again. The company aims to revitalize discarded Kimono into new products. Tokyo kimono shoes are made by skilled craftsmen at AxT Inc., which has been making shoes in Asakusa for about 70 years and are trying to make new use of kimono.
