Drap-Art is a platform for artists working with waste materials who consider that waste is a 

resource. It creates awarness in its public to environmental problems caused by an 

unbridled consumption and the proliferation of waste. It was founded in 1995 and organizes 

workshops, fairs and markets, conferences, exhibitions and festivals, developing a new 

creative and sustainable economy, and encouraging its audience to reduce, reuse and 

recycle, in addition to consuming in a more thoughtful way.

Drap-Art'15 International Festival of Recycling Art of Catalonia will be held at the CCCB and 

surrounding areas, from 18th December, 2015 to 3rd January, 2016. The fair activities and
