STORY BEHIND UWYTA
UWYTA, a dynamic social enterprise, embodies the fusion of environmental consciousness and social impact. It is a social enterprise established on the values of passion, innovation and commitment to create positive impact.
In 2021, Margot Wehbe initiated this transformative journey as a university project, recognizing the environmental repercussions of non-recyclable chips and chocolate wraps. By shifting her perspecitive on non-recyclable waste, Margot’s solution was simple yet revolutionary.
What started as an academic endeavor swiftly evolved into a venture that resonated with many. Securing a grant under Safir, an EU-funded project, became a catalyst for our growth and extended reach.
UWYTA has since grown to be an agent of change making waves in Lebanon and beyond. By 2023, it achieved a significant milestone with the acquisition of its dedicated space. Going beyond addressing multilayered plastic challenges, we broadened our focus to include fabric waste, amplifying our positive impact on the environment.
UWYTA isn't just a business; it's a commitment to transforming adversity into opportunity. Join us on this journey of innovation, sustainability, and societal upliftment. Together, we reshape the narrative of waste by crafting a sustainable future, one upcycled creation at a time.
