In Thailand, a man creates lovely sling bags from used soft drink cans.
What do you do with empty soft drink cans? Perhaps they easily land in our garbage bins after use.
Though it is recyclable, not every place has recycling centers so there’s still the possibility of it being dumped in our landfills.
But in Thailand, aluminum cans are getting harder to find.
It’s because a man from Sampheng in Bangkok has found a way to repurpose soft drink cans.
Recycling And Creativity
They are made into fashionable bags of different sizes. And they look so cute that bulk buyers are piling up their orders and the man has a hard time catching up.
Patience is truly a must for every anxious customer. And take note, these are handmade, created with love and creativity.
Bags can be ordered from 60-100 Thai Baht. They’re super affordable, right?

“„The bag is very cute. It’s also durable. You can attach a long adjustable strap into it.- anonymous Thai customer
The customer added:
“„If you don’t like the strap, you can change it yourself. There are two sizes. Me and my friend bought both sizes.- anonymous Thai customer
Helping Hand
A woman named Tharinee Kedsopa has been helping the man receive the cans being donated for his bag making.
A customer who ordered a bag through her praised her efforts and is willing to wait no matter how long her order is done.
This customer said:
“„Both her and heart are beautiful. To this person, thank you for helping the man to earn more income.- anonymous Thai customer
The customer also said:
“„The man’s bag is really beautiful. I will wait no matter how long because I want it.- anonymous Thai customer
Beautiful But Not Perfect
Well, you really have to manage your expectations since these are used cans already, and some have minor scratches.
Nevertheless, the impact it brought to the Thai people is really significant.
It increases their awareness in reducing wastes, plus it also gives their fellow Thai the chance to earn for his living.
There are many ways to recycle and repurpose some of our wastes like plastic and aluminum.
All it takes is one’s initiative and support from the community. Hopefully, we can do the same in our country.
