Renew Earth Sweat Shop: Making fashion sustainable
Turning Trash Into Treasure: The Upcycling Craze in Singapore
Why Singapore’s Fashion Waste Fights Matter
Despite being a petite island, Singapore dumps a ridiculous amount of old clothes into the landfill. Thankfully, people are stepping up—roaming thrift shops and hunting pre‑loved pieces to keep those threads from ending up in the trash.
Meet Renew Earth Sweat Shop
- 80 dedicated volunteers turned a staggering 200 kg of outdated threads into fresh, funky clothing in just four months.
- Their hard work? You’ll get to see and buy some of those reborn creations at our upcoming pop‑up event.
How You Can Join the Fun
- Try your hand at weaving on a full‑scale industrial sewing machine.
- Help out at the community sorting house—because who says trash can’t be treasure?
Event Details
The Renew Earth Sweat Shop pop‑up runs until September 30, 2021 at the Temasek Shophouse, 28 Orchard Road, Singapore 238832. Workshops are free and open to the public—just RSVP to secure your spot.

Ever get that restless feeling when you just need to move? Well, 14 offers exactly that: a 14‑minute ballet of 19 independent artists, all held together by livestream from every corner of the globe.
