Reusable Cable ties for the garden made from Fairly Traded natural rubber

Another first for Plastic Free Gardening

Reusable Cable ties for the garden made from Fairly Traded natural rubber (instead of plastic/petroleum).

30 pieces, 130 mm long, in the Fair Trade colours of blue and green.

Sourced from a Sri Lankan rubber plantation/supplier partner which is a partner of the Fair Rubber Association (and also FSC certified). This planation is pioneering new methods of ensuring that the tappers get paid for every drop of latex milk they harvest:

Digital scales are linked to the account of the tapper, where the weight tapped is converted into the correct payment. This is also the basis for the Fair Trade premium paid into the Fair Trade account of the joint body on that plantation. While cable ties are small and light - with this system every gram is accounted and paid for. For more information please go to www.fairrubber.org
