About UNI Bear
Why did UNI Bear appear?
Did you know that the textile industry is the third largest polluter in the world? The amount of carbon dioxide emitted in the process of making Hong Kong students' uniforms is equivalent to a car circling the earth 1,200 times , and the water used in the process is enough for all Hong Kong citizens to drink for three years .
The child grows up The school uniforms are discarded every year due to the rapid growth of the school uniforms. The UNI Bear is designed to extend the value of old school uniforms. Compared with the general dolls wearing graduation robes, the UNI Bear in old school uniforms is more commemorative.
The special thing about UNI Bear is that it is made from old school uniforms worn by children, and the UNI Bear's school uniforms will retain the original design of the old school uniforms. We can also make school uniforms for various types of dolls (such as dolls that children like) and provide school uniform embroidery services, making your UNI Bear more "unique"!
UNI Bear is not only environmentally friendly, but also carries everyone's memories of school. The production process greatly reduces the use of new textiles, and UNI Bear is made from everyone's old school uniforms. It can be placed at home as a decoration, so you can recall the memories of school at any time.
Who makes your UNI Bear?
The textile industry was once one of Hong Kong's major industries. In the 1970s and 1980s, the industry employed about 40% of the manufacturing workforce.
But due to economic transformation, the textile industry is no longer as prosperous as before. Due to the reduction of job opportunities in the industry, most of the former textile workers have now retired or been forced to retire early.
In order to promote an inclusive economy, we employ these retired garment workers. By helping them upcycle, the elderly can not only develop their interests and specialties, but also regain their self-confidence, bring fun to their retirement life, and give back to the community at the same time.
