This collection of daily enjoyable functional items is carefully assessed to increase brand-awareness whilst assuring a respectful use of materials and a longer-lasting product. Ensuring that our actions incorporate these beliefs means rethinking every step of the product development process and our entire operation. Integrating sustainability in the material selection, production, personalisation and packaging methods are examined and potential improvements are continuously implemented. We are committed to conduct business in a responsible and trustworthy manner.
More sustainable materials. Whenever possible, and whilst focussing upon functionality and quality, the more than gifts collection is, where relevant, gradually upgraded or substituted with newer and more sustainable materials. This means selecting high quality materials that are recycled or lend themselves to recycling, materials derived from renewable sources and ethically sourced. The centrepiece of this is supporting our suppliers in implementing innovative processes to produce more sustainable materials.
Reduce waste. In the way we interact with our environment, unnecessary waste is no longer an option. Replacing disposable products made of non-renewable resources by reusable products or biodegradable materials is an important step forward. Also rethinking the way we pack and distribute goods give opportunities to reduce waste. As of 2018 we started to streamline box sizes and packaging methods in order to reduce the amount of polybags and cardboard used. Ongoing individual item packaging is being evaluated and streamlined to offer a smarter solution.
Wheat Straw
Wheat-straw is mainly an agricultural waste product that remains after grain or juice is extracted from the crops. Wheat straw is recently being used as filler for thermoplastic composites as polypropilene or ABS. it is a valuable environmentally friendly resource that, while upgrading the outlook of many reuseable products, helps to reduce the amount of plastics used while reusing natural sources.
Corn PLA
Polylactic acid (PLA) is a natural plastic substitute made from fermented plant starch (usually corn). It is an eco-friendly, renewably-sourced and biodegradable alternative to conventional p etroleum-based plastics. The increased usage of PLA will reduce the carbon footprint of many industries. This non-toxic green material can be used for all kind of products as grocery shopping bags to safe or reusable tumblers.
Organic cotton
Organic cotton is equal to cotton with the difference that it is naturally grown without use of any pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or any other chemical. In order to know for sure that the cotton is indeed organic, manufacturers go through extensive supply chain verification by third-parties and only certified cotton can be marketed (example by GOTS). Number of organic cotton farms is increasing fastly however still counts for a very small part of overall cotton production worldwide.
Coffee husk
After petroleum, coffee is the second most commercialized product in the world. Coffee husks (or chaff) is the dried skin of the bean. During the roasting process, the husk falls off and mostly thrown away. Coffee husk is recently being used as reinforcing filler for thermoplastic composites as polypropilene or ABS. It is a valuable environmentally friendly resource that helps to reduce the amount of plastics used.
Bamboo
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants (grass) and it can replenish itself within a year with a minimum water need and without need of fertilisers to boost its growth. Since bamboo is naturally pest-resistant there is no usage of pesticides. Bamboo is a very renewable resource, strong and durable. It absorbs more Co2 from the air and releases more oxygen which improves the air quality. Bamboo is 100% natural and biodegradable.
Did you know?
Cork
Cork is the bark of theself-regenerating cork oak tree. It is ranked among the most durable organic materials with the property of stabilizing the air temperature and humidity. It is a very flexible material and be treated in a simple natural way. It has good adhesive properties, making it easy to use in combination with different materials.

RPET
PET is the most common type of plastic, mostly used for packaging and beverages disposable bottles/containers. A large part of the solid waste in the world is attributed to this packaging. Recycled PET is known as RPET, and it is the most widely recycled plastic in the world. The use of recycled PET by giving a new life to an already made product in place of virgin resin results in reduced environmental impact.
Glass
With different styles and sizes for any occasion, you can use these for when you are thirsty to help avoid single use items. Do your part by making this small change.
Recycled fabrics
Recycled fabrics is made from waste fabrics (any textiles). Collected textile solid wastes are reprocessed to fibre and than back to fabrics for further re-production of bags, garments or linnen. Most of the manufacturers work with two streams : pre-consumer waste (scrap from production) and post-consumer waste (used textiles collected). The color segregation occurs during the process to avoid as much as possible the re-dyeing of the fabric.
Paper items
We have introduced a new range of paper products. The same items you already know and love, made with sustainability in mind. This is only one of many ways we are adapting to help the ecosystem. Did you know the average tree can be used to produce over 8,000 pieces of paper?
