Billions of coconut shells are burned yearly which contributes to CO2 and methane emissions. This is avoided by giving the shells a second chance when converting them into wonderful carved bowls.

All the products are natural handmade, which means that non-industrial processes are avoided, reducing this way energy usage.

No information on this is provided by the brand.

TerraMavi produces reed straws. Reed fields become potentially dangerous for the ecosystem due to fires. By using this raw material, TerraMavi is helping avoid this while producing straws, a product that is 100% biodegradable and processed without any chemicals.

They produce no waste from the raw materials. TerraMavi uses every part of the bamboo, coconut, and wheat plant for all of its products.

When it comes to coconut bowls, billions of shells go to landfills every year. By giving them a second chance, tons and tons of these won’t go to waste.

After use of these products, if desired, these can be composted, avoiding further waste.

Different raw materials such as bamboo and coconut do not contain any plastic, toxins or pesticides at any point of the production process. The final products are free of synthetic preservatives and colourants as well as fragrances.

TerraMavi is not only committed to the environment but also to community support. They help local villagers by providing better working conditions with higher wages and ensures that there is no child labor.
