Can anyone help me find the name of this product? [View all]

I have just bought a very colorful tote bag that is supposedly made of bits and pieces of recycled plastic. It is woven in multi-color material , the surface is shiny. I would bet that there are about a thousand small squares of various material. Am told that it is made in a 3rd world country to raise funds for the impoverished. I love the bag and would like to know what it is all about. I Goggled as many words as I could think of and no results.The squares are about half inch by half inch ...bits and pieces of old labels are from about a thousand products. No label of any kind. Beautifully woven, very colorful. About 18" X 6" with shoulder straps.
Anyone have any idea?
