Reco Young Designer Competition 2018

RECO, the largest upcycling design competition in Thailand hosted annually by Indorama Ventures, aims to raise awareness on using PET and polyester waste to create brilliant and inspiring designs. One of the aims of RECO is to demonstrate new skills, and it comes as a surprise to many that these designs are created from waste materials. Every year, we showcase the knowledge and creativity of a new generation helping them create great designs for a better society and a cleaner environment.

With over 200 submissions from across Thailand, Indorama Ventures selects the top 30 entries to attend an exclusive eco-design workshop led by professionals in the design industry, who provide practical advice to the candidates. The 10 finalists will use the knowledge they have learnt in the workshop and produce their upcycled-design collection to show at the final event.

Deadline for submission of application: 19 June 2018
