Earthmarte Trajectory
In 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean. The World Economic Forum stated that this will happen unless levels of plastic recycling and reuse are increased.
Brand Solutions SAS – Terramarte, was founded in March 2008 (Bogotá, Colombia), with the purpose of contributing to the solution of this problem, specifically avoiding the excessive and irrational use of disposable plastic bags in Colombia.
We began our awareness work by providing reusable eco bag solutions available to all citizens.
It is for this reason that, aligned with our policy and approach to socio-environmental responsibility, we decided to partner with large companies in the country such as: SODIMAC Homecenter, Jumbo, Makro, Alkosto, Olímpica, among other chains with the firm purpose of promoting the use of ecological or reusable packaging to reduce the use of plastic in their chains and in the final consumers, offering within our portfolio a line of eco bags made mainly by Colombian women heads of families and in this way contributing to the development and growth of families in the country.
In Colombia, a person uses at least six plastic bags a week; that is, 24 per month and 288 per year. Similarly, if a person lives to be 77 years old, they would spend 22,176 bags. Their waste reaches landfills and takes approximately 400 years to decompose. On the other hand, these plastics usually reach streets, sewers and oceans, causing blockages and flooding.
This 15-year work has positioned us as a leading and pioneering company in generating environmental awareness with the use and reuse of ecological bags.
AS A SYMBOL OF OUR LEADERSHIP, WE ARE ONE OF THE FIRST CERTIFIED B COMPANIES IN COLOMBIA, A GLOBAL CERTIFICATION THAT DEMONSTRATES THE COMMITMENT TO CREATING A POSITIVE IMPACT ON SOCIETY AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
