The event, themed #BeatPlasticPollution in honour of World Environment Day 2025, showcased the innovative designs crafted from what many would consider trash, advocating for a new perspective on waste management.

Hosted at Riverton Primary School in Bishop Lavis, the runway event was a culmination of the hard work put in by members of the Eco-Club, which has been supported by GrandWest and the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA) for the past three years.
