Oneless
The Oneless project has several objectives:
- to promote reuse and reduce pollution through the provision of sustainable alternatives
- to take a sustainable product to market and explore the challenges facing inventors and entrepreneurs trying to start up businesses in the UK today
- to inspire and promote the development of further sustainable products
- to 'brand' existing sustainable products that meet our exacting social and environmental criteria
Summary
We designed a shopper bag that folds up into its own little pocket. We
identified reclaimed saris as a sustainable and practical fabric to reuse
in making the bags. We use UK and Indian homeworkers and sell to about
20 independent retailers. We have recently completed a pilot with Oxfam,
producing bags for 95 Oxfam stores using sari fabric donated to Oxfam.
The Oneless project has been partially funded by The UnLtd Millennium Awards Scheme
