Less nets in the ocean, more furoshiki in the world, please! This stylish and reusable gift wrap makes a powerful, yet understated statement.
Around 40% of the plastic produced worldwide is needed for packaging and is usually only used once. Oftentimes, it ends up as waste in the oceans, where it forms floating islands of trash called garbage patches. Grace of Waste is making an effort to raise awareness to this issue amongst our business partners and motivate them to do their part to recycle more.
We were inspired by an ancient Japanese tradition. In Japan, gifts are often wrapped in a furoshiki – a traditional textile that is used and reused again and again. Our furoshiki does even more. It is made from recycled ocean plastic and conveys a coded message.
