UOB joins hand with artist to promote environmental awareness

Piyaporn Ratanaprasartporn.

To promote environmental protection and waste reduction, UOB Thailand has collaborated with artist Wishulada Panthanuvong to create the "Turning Trash Into Treasured Art" exhibition, as part of the "Waste To Wonder" project.

A total of 4,903 pieces of old clothing were upcycled into the Clothespocalypse art installation, which is on display until June 9 at the Tower Building at UOB Plaza Bangkok. The installation is meant to highlight the negative environmental effects of the world's insatiable appetite for clothing, which results in 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions when disposed of in landfills or burned.
