Over the next two years Ahuja experimented with recycling the bags. She tried weaving them together to create a tarpaulin like covering for the sacks of slum dwellers. Another time she tried pasting pieces of the polyethylene onto canvas and cardboard. She saw that a thicker fabric could be made. She suddenly got strucked about the fact that they could make handbags using the collected materials. Ahuja's project has created employment for several unprivileged people and also become a solution for solving the problem of plastic waste. The range has now been extended to creating footwear, cushions,jewellery,lamps and boxes
