Green gifts with sustainable charities

Retulp is a social enterprise with the goal of reducing litter and fighting the plastic soup. We want to set a good example, create awareness and encourage recycling. We do this by bringing hip, handy and reusable products on the market as an alternative to disposable plastic products. With the proceeds of our products we support charities.

Retulp In doing so, seeks to partner with sustainable charities that we can support with the sale of our drink and lunchware to make the world a nicer and cleaner place. Below is an overview of the main charities we work with.

The World Wildlife Fund or WWF once began as a protector of animals like the panda. They now face a much greater challenge. Climate change and loss of nature are affecting all life on earth today. That's why WWF is on a mission: to make the world "Nature Positive. And Retulp is eager to support WWF in this effort. WWF is in the middle of the field to protect and restore nature. From Limburg rivers to Amazon rainforest, from Caribbean coral to African wildlife. Hands on and with their feet in the mud: doing is their credo. They enter into partnerships with local organizations and get people, companies and governments moving together. WWF-NL works with a long-term strategy to protect nature in the long term. With our products we want to support WWF in this strategy. You can find our cups and other products in the WWF webshop.

Clean drinking water for everyone. That's Made Blue's mission, and we couldn't agree more! Because right now there are still more than 700 million people in the world who do not have access to clean drinking water. Not only is a lack of water a problem. An estimated 485,000 people die every year due to contaminated drinking water and poor sanitation. Made Blue is committed to those areas where water is scarce and in doing so, it also invests in educating local residents so that they themselves can contribute to the maintenance of the water points. The water points that Made Blue realizes also prevent people from buying water in disposable plastic bottles, so this saves a lot of plastic waste that ends up in the environment. We support Made Blue by donating 1000 x the content in liters of water for every cup or water bottle sold!

Club Kakatua, an initiative of Dennis Storm was born out of the need for tangible projects that make our planet greener and healthier. They do a variety of projects, but their roots are in Indonesia. One of the biggest reasons the oceans are polluted on a large scale is the fact that all streams and rivers eventually end up in the sea. On its way to the ocean, the water takes with it all the garbage thrown into the streams, with all its consequences. That's why Club Kakatua is building trash barriers. There are now 4 barriers in the water 24/7 that prevent plastic and other trash from entering the ocean. These barriers are emptied daily during the rainy season. As a result, these projects not only reduce the amount of plastic in the oceans, but also provide jobs for local residents. With Club Kakatua have realized our Mission Edition Collection with 5 different reusable coffee mugs. By purchasing these coffee mugs, tumblers and thermos flasks you support the construction of a new trash barrier in Indonesia!

Why charities are increasingly engaging in merchandising.

Many charities today deploy sustainable products with their own logo to increase their impact. Think reusable bottles, cups and lunch boxes that not only contribute to the environment, but also generate additional revenue and strengthen the bond with donors.

At Retulp we have already partnered with organizations such as WWF, Amnesty International and Just Dig It. Want to know how you can do this successfully too?
