Our work contributes towards the education targets of the Singapore Green Plan 2030
and the Government's efforts to become a zero-waste nation.
Our main focus is textile waste and to find solutions for the reuse, repurposing and recycling of pre-loved school uniforms.

Happy 60th Birthday, Singapore!
Happy 60th Birthday, Singapore!
This Singapore map is made of pre-loved school uniforms, and includes crests of the 97 schools whose Parent Support Group Leaders participated in the "Go Green PSGs" project in May this year.
The project was a partnership between Changkat Primary School (CKPS), its Parent Support Group and The Circular Classroom in support of the annual Go Green SG initiative by the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE).
The artwork was presented by the Changkat Primary School Parents Support Group to President HE Tharman Shanmugaratnam as a token of appreciation - on time for National Day. He graced the launch of the Go Green SG movement on 16 May 2025 at Changkat Primary School.
The map is more than a creative artwork: it shows the commitment of parents and students and school communities to responsible consumption and sustainable living.
Read the accompanying letter by Vasantha Meenakshi Muthukumar, Chairperson, Changkat Primary School (CKPS) Parent Support Group, below.
Everyone can participate by adopting sustainable consumption practices.
