- ReCreators contest invites 10-15-year-olds to create artworks from recycled materials, linking classroom creativity with responsible consumption and climate action
- Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 30 October 2025 –
Epson, a global technology leader, today announced the Epson ReCreators Contest, a region-wide sustainability initiative launching on International Sustainability Day. The programme invites school students aged 10-15 to design and build artworks from recycled materials, including printed paper, and submit them via a dedicated microsite to be judged by Epson leadership alongside local art curators.
The competition will run across selected schools in key markets, including Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia, Türkiye, UAE, and KSA. Winners will be awarded an Epson prize bundle of EcoTank Printer and Home Cinema projector and official merchandise from Epson’s ambassador Shakira, with selected artwork pieces to be shared on Epson’s social media channels and displayed at the company’s offices across the region.
ReCreators, fuses two powerful concepts: "recycle" and "create" to position students not just as artists, but as changemakers who transform recycled materials into meaningful works of art. By reclaiming waste and reimagining it into something inspiring, the students will embody the campaign's spirit and slogan: Reuse > Create > Inspire.
At Epson, creativity and care are at the core of who we are and one of our key principles. Creativity drives the innovation that enriches lives, whilst our care for the environment ensures that we protect both the people and the planet.
As part of Epson META-CWA's broader commitments to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), the campaign most directly advances SDG 4: Quality Education by encouraging creative learning and skills development; SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production by promoting re-use and circularity; and SDG 13: Climate Action through climate literacy and behaviour change.
Husam Alzughayyar, Sales Manager for the Middle East & Country Manager for Saudi Arabia at Epson, said: “This competition challenges students to see recycled materials as raw material for imagination. Using recyclable materials in art is more than an exercise, it teaches responsibility and awareness. We aim to helps them understand that small actions, like reusing and repurposing, can make a real difference for our planet. The ReCreators Competition gives our students the chance to connect creativity with care for the environment."
The campaign will be promoted through social content, school partnerships, and a series of interviews spotlighting educators, judges, and student winners. At its core, the competition inspires students to see the potential in waste, demonstrating how small creative actions can contribute to a healthier planet while fostering ingenuity and responsibility.

احتفاءً باليوم العالمي للاستدامة
إبسون تطلق مسابقة فنية للطلاب لإعادة تدوير المواد
دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة – 30 أكتوبر 2025: أعلنت "إبسون"، الشركة التكنولوجية الرائدة عالمياً، اليوم عن إطلاق مسابقة "مبدعي إعادة التدوير" (ReCreators) والتي تعد مبادرة مخصصة للاستدامة يجري تنظيمها على مستوى المنطقة بالتزامن مع اليوم العالمي للاستدامة. وتدعو المسابقة طلاب المدارس ممن تتراوح أعمارهم ما بين 10-15 عاماً إلى تصميم وتنفيذ أعمال فنية من مواد مُعاد تدويرها، ومن ضمن ذلك الأوراق المطبوعة، ومن ثم تسليم هذه الأعمال في مواقع مخصصة ليجري بعد ذلك تقييمها من قبل الإدارة العليا لشركة "إبسون" ومشرفين فنيين محليين.
وستغطي المسابقة عدداً من المدارس في أسواق رئيسية ومن ضمنها المغرب وجنوب أفريقيا وتونس وتركيا ودولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة والمملكة العربية السعودية. وسيحصل الفائزون على حزمة من الجوائز المقدمة من "إبسون" والتي تشمل طابعة من سلسلة EcoTank، وجهاز للعرض الضوئي السينمائي المنزلي، ومنتجات رسمية من شاكيرا سفيرة علامة "إبسون" التجارية، إلى جانب مجموعة من الأعمال الفنية المُختارة التي سيتم عرضها على قنوات التواصل الاجتماعي لشركة "إبسون" وفي مكاتب الشركة في المنطقة.
وتجمع مسابقة "مبدعي إعادة التدوير" (ReCreators) مبدأين راسخين هما: "إعادة التدوير" و"الإبداع" بهدف جعل الطلاب فنانين وصانعي تغيير قادرين على تحويل المواد المُعاد تدويرها إلى أعمال فنية هادفة. وسيجسد الطلاب من خلال جمعهم النفايات القابلة لإعادة التدوير وتشكيلها في أشياء ملهمة، روح الحملة وشعارها: أعِد الاستخدام > أبدع > كن مصدراً للإلهام.
ويعد الإبداع والرعاية جوهر هويتنا الأصيلة وأحد أهم مبادئنا الأساسية، إذ يعتبر الإبداع محرك الابتكار الذي يسهم في إثراء حياتنا، في حين تضمن رعايتنا للبيئة حماية الإنسان والكوكب في آن معاً.
ونظراً لكونها ركناً أساسياً لالتزام شركة إبسون الشرق الأوسط وتركيا وإفريقيا ووسط وغرب آسيا بأهداف التنمية المستدامة للأمم المتحدة، فإن الحملة تدعم وبشكل مباشر "الهدف 4: التعليم الجيد" من خلال تشجيع التعلم الإبداعي وتطوير المهارات؛ و"الهدف 12: الاستهلاك والإنتاج المسؤولان" وذلك من خلال التشجيع على إعادة الاستخدام والتدوير؛ و"الهدف 13: العمل المناخي" من خلال التثقيف المناخي وتغيير السلوك.
وقال حسام الزغيّر، مدير المبيعات في الشرق الأوسط والمدير الإقليمي في السعودية لدى إبسون: "تشجع المسابقة الطلاب على النظر إلى المواد المُعاد تدويرها بصفتها مواد أولية للخيال الواسع. ويعد استخدام المواد المُعاد تدويرها أكثر من مجرد تمرين، إذ يسهم في تثقيف الطلاب وتعليمهم المسؤولية. إننا نهدف إلى مساعدتهم على فهم حقيقة أن الخطوات الصغيرة مثل إعادة الاستخدام أو إعادة التوظيف قادرة على إحداث فرق حقيقي بالنسبة للكوكب. وتوفر مسابقة "مبدعي إعادة التدوير" (ReCreators) لطلابنا الفرصة لربط الإبداع برعاية البيئة".
وسيتم الترويج للحملة من خلال محتوى على منصات التواصل الاجتماعي، وشراكات مع مدارس، وسلسلة من المقابلات التي تسلط الضوء على المعلمين، وأعضاء لجنة التحكيم، والطلاب الفائزين. وتهدف المبادرة في جوهرها إلى إلهام الطلاب لإدراك الإمكانات الكامنة في النفايات، وستوضح كيف يمكن للأعمال الإبداعية الصغيرة أن تسهم في تحسين صحة الكوكب وتعزيز روح الابتكار والمسؤولية.

The UAE’s cult-favourite cookie brand is expanding from its delivery-only roots to a physical home, bringing playful indulgence, mystery, and its signature flavours to Abu Dhabi
Adding to the intrigue, Halloween arrives with a twist as Cookie Conspiracy unveils a tempting spooky seasonal menu alongside its signature classics
Abu Dhabi, UAE (29 October 2025): The moon landing was faked. The Earth is flat. Elvis lives. And now, another conspiracy has just been confirmed, as the UAE’s most out-of-the-box cookie brand, Cookie Conspiracy, has finally opened its first-ever kiosk at Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi. A brand that continuously breaks the mould, transforming the humble cookie into a symbol of playful indulgence and creative rebellion, this milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter for the homegrown sensation that has been winning hearts and sweet tooths since its delivery-only beginnings.
Born in the midst of lockdown, Cookie Conspiracy started as founder Amanda Jenkin’s passion project when she began baking for friends, family, and fitness clients. A personal trainer by day and a self-proclaimed cookie conspirator by night, Amanda was always in on the joke, but she wasn’t sabotaging diets; rather, proving a point that balance is everything. One cookie won’t make you gain weight, just like one salad won’t make you lose it. That delicious philosophy, paired with her perfectionism for flavour and texture, laid the foundation for what would become a full-blown dessert movement.
The brand’s playful narrative was then brought to life with co-founder Elliot Barron, a Dubai-based entrepreneur and marketing strategist who saw the potential to turn Amanda’s late-night cookie experiments into a UAE phenomenon. Together, the duo created Cookie Conspiracy, a brand that thrives on curiosity, quality, and craft, transforming cookies into something extraordinary. The brand’s identity is rooted in mystery and intrigue, encouraging every customer to “question everything”, including what makes a cookie truly unforgettable.
Now, after years of amassing a cult-like status online, Cookie Conspiracy has found its first physical home at Yas Mall, Abu Dhabi. The kiosk brings the brand’s signature flavours, fresh-baked aroma, and playful packaging to life in an immersive, grab-and-go setting. Until now, fans across the UAE have been ordering online for next-day delivery via Talabat, Deliverect, or the brand’s website, but the Yas Mall launch marks the next evolution in its story and gives cookie lovers a front-row seat to the handcrafted magic.
Each Cookie Conspiracy creation is a work of edible art. Handmade, thick, and loaded with the finest ingredients, including Belgian chocolate, high-quality butter, and house-made fillings, everything is crafted in small batches, free from artificial additives or preservatives, and baked to that perfect chewy-meets-crispy texture. Beyond cookies, guests can pair their indulgence with speciality coffee creations like “Cover Story” (Cappuccino), “Clean Slate” (Flat White), “Blurred Lines” (Latte), or “Soft Power” (Matcha Latte), part of the brand’s cheekily named beverage lineup.
The regular menu features a tempting variety of favourites, including “Blackout Theory”, a brown butter toffee chocolate cookie that is rich, gooey, and dangerously addictive, “False Alarm”, a lemon white chocolate creation that bright, buttery, and zesty, “Unverified Source”, where brown butter meets banana bread energy, and “Crumble Under Pressure”, a take on apple crumble reimagined. For the indecisive, there’s always the “Inside Job” collection of 6, where you can enjoy six signature flavours revealed and ready to devour, or the “Conspiracy Experience”, a 12-cookie mystery box featuring limited-edition flavours curated by Amanda herself
Amanda Jenkins, Founder and Head Pastry Chef of Cookie Conspiracy, shared, “This launch means everything to us. It’s the start of a new adventure and the first time people can physically experience the world of Cookie Conspiracy. Yas Mall is the perfect setting for our debut, and we can’t wait to share our cookies, coffee, and a little bit of mischief with Abu Dhabi.”
