Now fashion is the name of the game here in Austria, 時尚是目前奧地利最熱門的產業。
but you might be surprised to learn that some of the most desirable items come from one of the most unlikely of sources. 不過，你要是知道有些最熱門的商品是怎麼來的，恐怕會大吃一驚。
Satinder Bindra has been finding out. 薩亭德‧賓德拉前往探究這些商品的來源。
A cold start to rag picker Shanker's workday. 寒冷的早晨，拾荒者桑可即將展開一天的工作。
He huddles for warmth by this fire. 他先靠在火堆旁取暖。
Then, after a simple breakfast of hot milk and toast, he sets off in his rickety cart to keep his first appointment of the morning. 簡單吃過熱牛奶和土司充當早餐之後，他便牽著搖搖晃晃的三輪車去趕赴一早的約會。
Just a short distance away, Raika Davi is already at work, busy collecting hundreds of such discarded and soiled plastic bags. 就在不遠的地方，萊卡‧達維早已開始工作，忙著撿拾千百只這種廢棄的塑膠袋。
It's back-breaking work, but there's no shortage of these bits and pieces of plastic. 這項工作非常累人，但是塑膠袋倒是撿都撿不完。
With an economy growing at almost 8 percent a year, 印度每年的經濟成長率將近百分之八，
India now consumes 5 million tons of plastic a year and will soon become the world's third-largest consumer after the U.S. and China. 目前每年用掉的塑膠達五百萬噸，不久就會成為世界上第三大的塑膠消費國，次於美國與中國。
But with growth comes increasing pollution. 不過，隨著經濟成長，污染情形也愈來愈嚴重。
Rag pickers have traditionally helped recycle a lot of this material. 傳統上，拾荒者幫忙回收了許多這類物質。
But now, a private nonprofit organization called Conserve has come up with a new idea. 但目前有一個叫做「保育」的私人非營利組織想出了一個新主意。
It's hiring hundreds of rag pickers like Raika to manufacture more upscale 這個組織雇用了上百名像萊卡這樣的拾荒者，
and avant-garde products, like handbags, sandals and belts from discarded plastic. 而利用廢棄塑膠製造比較昂貴、比較新潮的產品，例如手提包、涼鞋、以及腰帶。
Once the bags are cut, they're rigorously hand-washed in detergent. 塑膠袋先經過裁剪，再浸入清潔劑中徹底手洗乾淨。
After they're aired and dried out, they're once again sorted and stacked into these colorful heaps. 風乾之後，就分類堆疊成這些五顏六色的塑膠堆。
The plastic is then compressed and heated, and since this technology is still in the process of being patented, we couldn't film it. 然後，這些塑膠還得經過壓縮與加熱。由於這種技術目前仍在申請專利，因此不能拍攝加工過程。
But take a look at this: the rebirth of hundreds of thousands of grimy and soiled plastic bags into eye-catching sheets. 但是請看看加工後的結果：成千上萬骯髒破舊的塑膠袋重生成為鮮豔搶眼的布料。
These sheets are then stitched into bags, belts, bracelets and shoes by trained craftsmen. 接著，技藝純熟的工匠就會把這些布料縫成提袋、腰帶、手環、以及鞋子。
Watching and supervising the entire operation are Anita and Shalabh Ahuja, the founders of Conserve. 負責監控整個生產過程的是艾妮塔‧阿胡佳與舍拉布‧阿胡佳，也就是「保育」的創辦人。
From just a few workers when they first started out two and a half years ago, the Ahujas now hire 300 people. 在兩年半前草創初期的時候，整個組織只有幾個工作人員，但是現在已有三百名員工。
They promote from within the organization and plow everything they earned back into the business. 組織裡的管理人員都由內部人員升遷而來，所賺的利潤也全部用於組織的發展上。
Shalabh Ahuja is an engineer. 舍拉布是工程師，
He's responsible for the technical end of operations. 負責生產活動的技術層面，
His wife Anita is an artist, the one who's designed all these handbags. 他的太太艾妮塔則是藝術家，這些手提袋全都出自她的設計。
The Ahujas now annually export such bags worth $150,000 across the world, a far cry from their earlier days, 阿胡佳夫婦現在每年銷往世界各地的提袋價值達十五萬美元，與他們初期的營運狀況實在有如天壤之別。
when Anita says it was hard to get people interested in her work. 艾妮塔說，那時候根本沒人對她的作品有興趣。
Some of Anita's bags are now being sold in London's boutique stores. 現在，艾妮塔設計的提袋也有些擺在倫敦的精品店販售。
Each colorful bag here can set back customers almost 40 euros or $50. 每一只色彩鮮豔的提袋，在這裡的訂價都高達四十歐元，相當於五十美元，
But they're buying them as fast as Conserve can ship them out. 但是仍然供不應求。
I think they are fantastic. 我覺得這些提袋實在太神奇了，
They are so unique that I've never seen any other bags made from recycled plastic bags. 而且又非常獨特。我從來沒看過用回收塑膠袋製成的提袋。
I mean you wouldn't believe it if you saw them and you touched them. 我是說，你如果看過、摸過這些袋子，一定不會相信這是回收塑膠袋的製品。
Raika Davi also finds it hard to believe a process that started out in the slums of New Delhi could have ended up in London. 這些源自新德里貧民窟的產品，竟然會在倫敦出售，也讓萊卡‧達維覺得不可思議。
She also has no clue that some of the bags she and others here helped make sell for $50, almost 75 percent of her monthly salary. 而她也完全想不到自己和其他人所參與製作的這些提袋，竟能賣到五十美元的價格，幾乎是萊卡月薪的七成五。
Fellow rag picker Shanker now hopes other poor people will get involved in similar projects, schemes that not just recycle, but help build lives across the world. 另一名拾荒者桑可希望其他窮人也能參與類似的計畫，不只回收資源，也讓世界各地的窮人獲得營生的機會。
