UK Nonprofit Repurposes Chip Bags Into Sleeping Bags

'It is a life-saving material, so it shouldn't be going to the landfill' — The Crisp Packet Project is a UK nonprofit turning chip bags into sleeping bags for people experiencing homelessness. With more than 220,000 chip bags repurposed to date, here’s how the process works and what you can do to help.

The companies that should be doing this type of work should be the companies that create the product.

First recycling project I’ve seen on this page in a while that’s actually doing something meaningful. Well done to whoever came up with this idea

I don't eat chips from those bags... mine come in cardboard tubes that when empty I wash, dry and, then use for storage. I have shared this video. I wish we had a supplier of crisp bag emergency blankets in the USA.

How long does it take to make each one ?
Because you can buy mylar blankets for a Quid.

Okay, is the Government still providing no cost housing for illegal immigrants? But not for homeless citizens? I'm honestly just asking.
