Upcycled Shack founder and architect Tressie Yap says in many rural farming communities in Kota Marudu, corn husks are often treated as agricultural waste; and this contributes to environmental pollution.
Recognising the potential of this resource, she decided to empower homemakers in villages to repurpose corn husks into valuable products.
