The vibrant collection is made from kitchen food waste and fruit peels, including dragonfruit, carrot, orange, zucchini, butterfly pea, and eggplant. Handcrafted by young single mothers through dehydrating, grinding and mixing the food waste with vegan waste-derived resin, it symbolises females as persistent, outspoken, fierce, and authentic. The group holds jewellery-making workshops for the public to promote behavioural change to reduce food waste. 

Ways Out Hong Kong also collaborated with the luxury hotel Rosewood Hong Kong to create this limited edition set of six upcycled wine charms. Each captivating charm attaches neatly to the stem of the wine glass, making it simple to know which glass belongs to whom in busy social gatherings. 

These healthy pet meals are slow-cooked using surplus vegetables from local markets and fresh meat. With no preservatives added, the eco-conscious food provides essential vitamins and minerals for furry friends. This social enterprise regularly donates products to rescued animals in local shelters, contributing to both the community and the environment.  

The homegrown start-up collects surplus bread from various bakeries in Hong Kong, including one of the biggest bread manufacturers, Maxim’s, and brews it into crafted beer. Not just plain white bread, even predominantly popular pineapple buns can be transformed into tropical-flavoured drinks.
