Boomerang Bags is a global initiative that calls upon the community – schools, sewing groups, universities, community organisations, councils, businesses - to collect fabric and help us turn it into bags. Workshops and sewing bees have become a valuable platform to connect with each other, share stories, divert waste from landfill, learn new skills, raise awareness about important issues (not just plastic!) and have fun.
