From Waste to Wonder

A Badge of Environmental Commitment

In the heart of Borneo’s rainforests, young seedlings begin their journey to become towering trees, nurtured in small polybags made from LDPE plastic. Once these seedlings are strong enough to stand on their own, the polybags, having served their purpose, would typically be discarded. But at GAIA at DAWN, we see more than waste, we see potential. Instead of letting these bags fade into obscurity, we give them a second life, transforming them into something meaningful.

Baby steps: While Bumiterra is in the process of transitioning into a plastic-free reforestation site, the first three months of a seedling’s life begins in polybags until they're ready for planting.

Mortier Repurposes For Change

From the forests of West Kalimantan to the bustling streets of Jakarta, these polybags embark on a new journey. Collected and cleaned during the Bumiterra team’s regular field visits, they travel with them, reducing carbon footprints by avoiding extra shipments. But the story doesn’t end there.

We partnered with Mortier, a pioneer in sustainable plastic repurposing, to create something extraordinary. Together, we were able to turn 60 used polybags into durable 5mm sheets. These sheets are carefully crafted into unique pins, each pin embodies the spirit of the forest and the promise of a sustainable future, representing both the resilience of nature and the dedication of those who protect it.

Precision in Craft: Each 5mm sheet is precisely cut into shape with a laser cutter.

Choosing a Sustainable Future

Wearing these recycled pins is more than just accessorizing; it’s a badge of honor symbolizing transformation. With every pin contributing to the start of a  plastic-free reforestation project, style them with pride knowing that your pick directly contributes to responsibly preserving our forests and empowering those who care for them.

The Bumiterra Recycled Pin showcases the beauty of transforming waste into something meaningful, embodying our commitment to a future where waste marks the beginning of a new narrative. One where every action, no matter how small, contributes to the larger mission of saving our planet.

A Symbol of Transformation: Our Bumiterra Recycled Pins add a touch of climate-friendly personality to your bag of choice.
