On this day, by coincidence or inevitability, a signing ceremony for a landmine upcycling project between the Cambodian government and TRUE BLUE was held in Phnom Penh. 

A landmine upcycling factory and shop produced by TRUE BLUE will be open at the Landmine Museum, which is scheduled to open in Siem Reap in the spring of 2026.

This landmine upcycling project is not just about upcycling plastic from the large amount of landmines removed in Cambodia, but also we can create new jobs,  by teaching upcycling techniques to Cambodians, including landmine victims.

Furthermore, by donating a portion of the sales from the products to cost of removing landmines, we can further advance the demining movement. 

What the Director General of CMAC (Cambodian Mine Action Centre) said at the signing ceremony really struck a chord with me.

"Landmines have a strong image of fear. Cambodia is often thought of as a scary place. Sad. I want to transform a landmine, something that creates fear, into something that creates love." 

What we can do may be small, but we want to turn fear into lots of love. I would be happy if this project would give even one person an opportunity to think about world peace. 

Doing what we can for world peace, in our own style. 

We will continue to work hard not only on upcycling marine plastics but also on upcycling landmine plastics, so please support us.
