Students explore murals, wearable art and new uses for discarded electronics. These are examples of the projects we have made together.

At the Unitedworld Institute of Design (UID), GD Goenka University, I led a four-day workshop called 'LOOP.ed' for International E-waste Day. I worked with 150 students from fashion, architecture, and product design to generate ideas and create art installations from e-waste.

A look into my three-day Eco Art workshop with Liberal Arts students at Christ University. We collaboratively created a mesmerizing mural representing the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals using repurposed e-waste, turning abstract concepts into a tangible, visually appealing design.

I mentor Chanakya University students in "Sustainable Upcycling Art Creation", helping them explore electronic components through art, sustainability and design thinking.

I guide fashion students through my 4-day "Eco-Chic" workshop at Pearl Academy, Bengaluru, exploring wearable art and jewellery made from discarded electronic components.

On Teacher's Day, I was thrilled to announce my collaboration with CHRIST University. I addressed students on the vital importance of upcycling and showcased my innovative Eco-Art Show on the theme of sustainability.

I share highlights from "Designing Sustainable Apparels from E-Waste" at NIFT Kannur, where students explored dresses for mannequins during the March 2025 workshop.

A dedicated one-day workshop for "Samvada Baduku" as part of their Waste Supply Chain Management course. Students explored how to create livelihoods by repurposing discarded electronic items, focusing on the practical application of upcycling.

I hosted a seminar on Sustainable Upcycling of e-waste at Chanakya University, bringing together practitioners and students. The session focused on sharing practical knowledge and inspiring the next generation of sustainability champions.

I’m Vishwanath. I enjoy showing students the textures and forms inside old gadgets. Once they see that potential, they begin finding their own ideas.

Don't throw away old glass bottles. This image shows how you can upcycle a simple bottle by decorating it with floral designs using air-dry clay, turning it into a beautiful decor piece.7
This is the first step in our "art out of waste" project. We use leftover MDF wooden cuttings and an old tile as the base for creating a unique wood mural.
The next step is to let your creativity run wild. Here, a student is painting and embellishing the MDF pieces with kundans and beads before assembling them onto the tile.
The finished wood mural on a tile, created entirely from waste materials. This project, done by a student in my summer camp, is a perfect example of how to create something amazing from waste.
