Who said creativity can’t be sustainable? WorkshopQ is an initiative by sisters Radhika Khaitan Mittal and Madhvi Khaitan, who believe in giving a new meaning to ‘green design’ through their upcycled daily-use products. Upcycling refers to converting waste or unused materials into products of higher value.

Started in April 2010, the objective behind WorkshopQ, states Mittal, was to raise awareness about the importance of being eco-friendly. The name is with reference to the workshop that will give scrap a quirky makeover.

“We wanted people to start looking at things from a different perspective and remind them that what we label as waste might not truly be so,” shares Mittal.
