Discarded Canvas Waste Becomes Wallets: Remade by CanvasPop

You probably know CanvasPop for printing photos onto canvas, but they’re launching something brand new: Remade by CanvasPop. Their latest project takes their discarded canvas waste and turns it into really cool recycled wallets, with all of the proceeds going to charity. 100% of the profits from the sale of the wallets will go to charity: water, which helps bring clean drinking water to people in need around the world.

As their sales increased over the years, so did their waste. Instead of tossing it out, they got creative and they’ve now reduced their waste by 70%! Plus, the wallets are being manufactured in partnership with an organization that provides jobs to low income women and immigrants. Every aspect of this new venture is socially conscious.

CanvasPop is taking it one step further by including a $30 CanvasPop gift voucher inside every wallet. Also, each of those vouchers will be printed on plantable paper that will sprout into wildflowers!
