The Stevie Awards for Women in Business is an international competition
and widely regarded as the world's premier business award. The 2023 competition
attracted more than 1,600 nominations submitted by organisations and
individuals across 26 nations.
“We are ecstatic to be recognised for the team’s hard work. It is a nod
that we are heading in the right direction,” shares Regine le Roux, founder of
the Re.Bag.Re.Use initiative.
There are currently 15 ladies involved in Re.Bag.Re.Use; five ladies cut
empty plastic bread bags into strips and ten ladies crochet these strips into
beautiful multi-functional items.
Margaret Nyika, one of the first members of the Re.Bag.Re.Use team
shares, “It is very special that we are recognised overseas for our talent of
crocheting. This initiative allows us to be creative and at the same time keep
the environment clean.”
“Apart from contributing socio-economically, less plastic is also
landing up in the environment. In addition, for each product sold, a percentage
gets donated to the Neighbourhood Old Age Home (NOAH) in Woodstock, and the
SPCA, in that way we are spreading the love of this initiative even further,”
adds le Roux.
This is Re.Bag.Re.Use’s second international accolade since the
initiative was started mid-2021. The other award was the ECCO International
Communication Network in 2022 for Campaign of the year.
