Weaver Green

We only use non-plastic, fully recyclable packaging to send our goods on their way to your homes. Our brochures are also printed using veggie based inks on FSC rated paper in solar powered factories. For our larger consignments we also use a vegetable based compostable wrapping to protect the items from any wetter weather or wear and tear during transit. This wrapping can then be easily composted at the end of its life either in your garden or with your local recycling centre.

All our products started out life as a collection of single use plastic bottles. We have found a way of recycling discarded bottles and turning them into an incredibly soft, highly practical yarn that we use to weave gorgeous rugs, cushions, blankets and bags.

Over 80% of our work force across all elements of our business, form plastic pollution, weaving, quality control, sales, marketing and administration, are women, and we feel strongly that economic independence is a key element in the enhancement of female equality in developing countries.

Our yarn is produced in factories using a closed-loop water system which sees almost 100% of the water used in the dying process recycled. Our system constantly recycles, purifies and reuses the same water, with zero emissions and only a little water lost through evaporation. We heat our dying vats by burning disregarded rice and wheat husks and only use non-toxic dyes. With regards to shipping, rather than air freight in small batches of products, we use slower, more sustainable transport methods to bring large quantities of our stock to the UK in one go. Our products are also completely recyclable, so in many years when it's time to refresh your looks, these fabulous rugs and textiles can be recycled all over again. Additionally, we heat our offices using heat source pump technology, and have planted over 4000 trees in the last 4 years to offset carbon.
