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.

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.

Why charities are increasingly engaging in merchandising.

Attracting donors, recruiting volunteers and maintaining financial stability are important for charities. One way to achieve this is by offering sustainable products with their own logo. This form of green merchandising not only generates additional income, but also strengthens the loyalty of donors and volunteers and expands the charity's visibility.

Retulp partners with organizations such as WWF, Club Kakatua, Made Blue, Amnesty International and Just Dig It by providing sustainable bottles, cups, lunch boxes and cooler bags specially printed with their logo. These products serve not only as practical items, but also as powerful carriers of their message. Think of drinking bottles, travel mugs and lunch boxes that are in daily use - they increase visibility and support the charity in a sustainable way.
