Shin Thant Plastics, a small family business, is passionate about reducing, recycling and upcycling plastic waste. As a first step, the carefully washed plastics get fused into new and workable materials. Afterward, these quirky patterned plastics get a second life as new and fashionable shopping bags, clutches, purses, lampshades and many other items.

The founder of Shin Thant, Pau Son, continues to research innovative techniques and products to tackle environmental issues in Myanmar. Shin Thant and Hla Day regularly cooperate on customized and innovative products.
