Proyectos Extraordinarios: an upcycling initiative with social impact

11 December, 2025

Viccarbe’s commitment to sustainability and to its immediate environment continues to grow, taking shape through collaborative projects and actions. The most recent has been developed together with the social enterprise Proyectos Extraordinarios, with whom we have given a second life to leftover fabric and leather remnants from our collections.

This organization, based in Benetússer (Valencia), focuses on transforming waste into valuable products, generating employment for women facing barriers to entering the labor market. Their upcycling work —with economic, social, and environmental impact— has turned our surplus materials into toiletry bags and backpacks handcrafted by this team of women.

With this project, we reaffirm our social and environmental commitment while promoting new forms of circularity. To date, 5.6 kg of textile and 12.7 kg of leather have been reused for the toiletry bags, and 25.9 kg of fabric and 27.1 kg of leather for the backpacks. In total, more than 70 kilograms of material that would otherwise have become waste have found a new life without requiring any additional processing, reinforcing circular economy as a key pillar of our responsible path.
