Hey, I’m Yishan — a self-proclaimed trash enthusiast and problem hacker.
I spent 9 months traveling to 16 countries with only a carry-on, documenting my adventures on my YouTube channel about sustainability and travel.

I love finding creative ways to reuse, repair, and rethink what we throw away.

Unwaste turns #5 polypropylene plastic — the kind most recycling programs reject — into colorful, reusable name tags for events. Each tag is handmade in the San Francisco Bay Area from materials collected from hospitals, labs, and households. Watch the process and browse our name tags →
