What emerged was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.repurposeschoolbags.com\/\">Repurpose Schoolbags<\/a>, a company with a product that uses recycled plastic to make an innovative bag that doubles as a light source for kids to study by at night. It&#8217;s a simple innovation that makes a huge impact, as Repurpose&#8217;s bags each use the equivalent of twenty plastic bags and offers children the freedom to learn any time of the day, even if they do not have electricity. She contracts locals to collect the waste plastic, clean it, and upcycle it and her factory trains people in her community to construct the bags. Thato&#8217;s&nbsp;company employs people, cleans up the community in a measurable way, and offers a solution for helping generations of kids get educated. &nbsp;Repurpose Schoolbags has been incredibly successful with minimal to no advertising, even attracting the attention of one Bill Gates, who spread the word about the company to his audience of 36 million Twitter followers.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Some creative South Africans made a backpack that doubles as a lamp for evening homework <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/NZzIq1JoUd\">http:\/\/t.co\/NZzIq1JoUd<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/qz\">@qz<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/t.co\/m3ds4WEbow\">pic.twitter.com\/m3ds4WEbow<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Bill Gates (@BillGates) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillGates\/status\/532896006338531328\">November 13, 2014<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Thato&#8217;s&nbsp;idea is a great example of the Designed for Life philosophy, which champions products that upcycle, evolve, and leave a minimal production ecological footprint.
