Social enterprise Phinix, which Pamela Nicole Mejia founded when she was still at college, collects textile waste from households and garment factories. It then transforms them into higher-value products, such as bricks that can be used to make furniture, installation walls and homeware. Completing the virtuous circle, Phinix’s products are made by partners in marginalised communities.
