2. Vegan Leather Tote
Some of the world&#;s top fashion houses are now replacing animal leathers with vegan leathers made from fruit. Many people believe the leather industry is a by-product of the meat industry, but it&#;s not. Most leather is processed in countries where there are little or no welfare laws for animals (or humans that make the leather, who are often subjected to toxic chemicals from the tanning process, which then go into the water supplies, and harm marine wildlife too). This apple skin tote is a vibrant beautiful urban shopper, which is lightweight but strong enough to hold a laptop.

3. Toilet Paper
Who Gives a Crap? sells extra-cushy 3-ply bamboo bathroom tissue in colourful paper packs.

For the crowdfunding campaign, he sat on a toilet in their draughty warehouse and refused to move, until they raised enough pre-orders to start production. It took 50 hours, but they did it!

Habits won&#;t stick if they require a drastic change in behaviour so Onya began with a simple mission; Create innovative, environmentally friendly solutions that easily fit into your life. We are here to bring you solutions that make a difference, right to your doorstep. Australian based Onya has been offering the world innovative solutions to single use plastic waste since .
What is the problem? How do we fix it?
The big problem, as we all know, is the long-term increase of the Earth&#;s temperature. We humans have been wreaking havoc on our atmosphere for a long time, and now our chickens are well and truly home to roost. Plastic is littering our oceans; our landfill is land-filled, and we throw away more and more each year.
We can all lessen our impact with a simple approach. The six &#;R&#;s we live our lives by are: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Recycle and Rot. If we can try and keep these principles in mind when making daily decisions, then we can start making a positive impact on our surroundings.
Onya goes that one step further. We are a B Corp certified company which, put plainly, means we have an obligation to meet the very highest of social and environmental standards. B Corps balance their profit with their purpose so that you, the consumer, know that your dollars do good.
We partner with only those who match our ethical commitments to ensure that we bring you products manufactured the right way. Ethically made in China, our produce ranges are made by companies whose values echo our own and we have been working with them for many years. Every partner we work with is approved as socially and environmentally conscious. We prioritise proper workers&#; rights, community impact, environmental credentials and, of course, you, our customer.
