Fiber project by Green Initiatives has got two new sponsors recently. Arup Shanghai is an engineering consultancy firm and has been associated with Green Initiatives for a long time. The firm is involved in sustainable environmental activities on a global scale with a specific focus on leading edge sustainable design. The Director at Arup Shanghai, Michael Kwok, said the firm is really happy to be a part of the initiative, promoting the donation of old clothes for recycling. He himself was interested in doing so however, he found no channel and was unable to go ahead.

The other sponsor, Schneider Electric, is a multinational energy company, having interest in the areas of energy management and automation. The firm has promised to implement the project at their office in Pudong. Working on a global scale, Schneider Electric helps businesses to bring energy efficiency in their workplaces. It has over 1,000 employees in this campus. Under the project, Green Initiatives has placed bins in the campuses.

With five sponsors in Shanghai, the initiative aims at mitigating the impact of hazards to the environment from textile and clothing waste. Launched in December 2014, the project is a community-focussed and volunteer-run initiative.
