In this episode we are joined by Diti Kotecha from Théla, a plastic upcycling initiative that handcrafts products with discarded plastic. We hear about her journey with plastic waste and its harmful impact; the meaning behind the name, Théla; the process of turning plastic into a material used for making bags and accessories; and her dream for Théla to become a curated handcrafted plastic platform, collaborating with other brands.

The Social Impact Pulse is a project of the Artesan Gateway and the soon to be launched, Their Stories Be Told.
