Background and Business Description

XSProject transforms consumer and corporate waste into products with innovative designs. We use art and design to create new uses for waste, reducing the amount of garbage burned or buried in landfills. In the process, we create jobs and stimulate the local economy to combat poverty.

XSProject donates a portion of its revenues directly to a scholarship fund that supports some of Indonesia’s poor, the children of trash pickers. With the educational opportunities provided by XSProject, these children can choose to pursue a brighter future, and eventually improve their standard of living, away from the trash heaps.
