This product is produced through fair trade with Bangladesh. We routinely use items that have a negative impact on the environment and the human body without us knowing it in our daily lives. This time, we will focus on microplastics, which are attracting attention as having an impact on marine pollution from dishwashing sponges, shopping bags, plastic bottles, and straws The occurrence of microplastics is caused by synthetic fibers, which are petroleum-derived fibers Currently, the main dishwashing sponges in Japan are made from synthetic fibers. In other words, every time you do your laundry, you are flushing microplastics into rivers and oceans through the kitchen. The only way to eliminate this phenomenon is to use materials made from natural fibers. Among them, jute was used as the most suitable material. - The main origin of jute is Bangladesh - Jute is a type of hemp that absorbs carbon dioxide more than ordinary wood, and is an eco-friendly material that returns to the soil without generating harmful substances when disposed of. In addition, the material that is colored in the border is upcycled saris used for the national costumes of India and Bangladesh, and we are trying to reuse resources. This TAWASHi is handmade by Jute Works, a fair trade production organization certified by WFTO (World Fair Trade Federation). By implementing fair trade with Bangladesh, we will not only consider the environment but also realize fair trade. By simply making the items we use in our daily routines a little more ethical, we can change from actions that have a negative impact on the environment and the human body to everyday life that can contribute to the global environment, the human body, and labor, and contribute to the realization of a sustainable society.
