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!
Placing water points in developing countries
Together with the Made Blue Foundation, we are making a lasting impact to combat water scarcity. Not only water pumps are realized, but we also invest in the education of local residents so that they themselves can contribute to the maintenance of the water points. This is done as sustainably as possible. These water points also prevent people from buying water in plastic bottles, so this in turn reduces the amount of plastic waste that ends up in the environment.
With each project, we look in advance at how to ensure that our impact is lasting. For example, with each project we provide a maintenance committee with members from the local community, provide training and information. This way we have lasting impact and our projects are also sustainable because they prevent people from buying water in disposable plastic bags or having to boil contaminated water on an open fire.
