Our commitment to oceans, lakes and rivers:
- In Cambodia, upcycling and recycling are central themes to avoid waste and create products from recycled materials.
- We use recycled rice and cement sacks and mosquito nets mostly from near lakes and rivers (rive- and lakebound plastic) to contribute to a more sustainable future.
- Our products stand for the reduction of water pollution from plastic and the reduction of CO2 emissions.
Extension of the range:
- In mid-2023 we will expand our range to include high-quality backpacks and belt bags.
- These are made from both recycled PET bottles and recycled Ocean Bound plastic.
- Ocean bound plastic was defined by University of Georgia professor Jenna Jambeck, a recognized marine researcher in the field of marine litter and ocean plastic.
Importance of Ocean Conservation:
- According to Jambeck's research, the vast majority of ocean plastic comes from the world's coasts.
- Although this is only a small portion of the global landmass, it is home to two billion people who have built their cities and livelihoods near the oceans.
Plastic recycling from European ports:
- Our passion and commitment in the field of upcycling and recycling goes so far that we also recycle lashing straps that were in shipping containers from German deep sea ports such as Hamburg, Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven and process them into shoulder straps.
- Otherwise, thousands of tons of ratchet straps would simply be burned because potential hairline cracks would not allow further use.
Recognizing our efforts:
- We are proud to have been named Official Partner of the UN Ocean Decade in 2022.
- This recognizes our actions and commitment to the health of water bodies.
Our concern:
- We want to help the poorest in Cambodia, especially those suffering from physical disabilities or the devastating effects of landmines.

Our movement:
