Fairtrade Fortnight 9-22 September
🌍 This year's Fairtrade Foundation campaign challenged newly elected MPs to 'Be the Change' in overturning the unfair global trade system. They want every MP to understand that they can make a difference, by standing up for fair trade, and alongside: farmers; suppliers like our artisan groups; ethical sellers like our stockists; and conscious shoppers like YOU! 🤝
The Fairtrade Foundation website provides tips for engaging with YOUR MP, to help them be part of the solution.
ZERO WASTE WEEK: BANANA FIBRE FROM FARM WASTE 🍌
With over a billion tons of banana plant stalks discarded annually worldwide, using this by-product of the banana fruit trade to make eco-friendly textiles helps to reduce this agricultural waste. Our raw material is sustainably sourced from farmers in the Terai region of southern Nepal. The banana plant doesn’t have a woody stem but layers of leaf sheaths. After each fruiting season, these are crushed, pulped, dried, carded and spun into strong but silky yarn. Processed entirely within Nepal, our banana fibre reduces waste, creates extra income for banana farmers, and provides jobs throughout the processing stages.
We love the rustic character this fibre brings to our BIBEK scarves, VARGA wristwarmers, and GUNIN table mats.
