A closer look of our NEW plastic-free packaging and our batik bandana paper sleeve. All thanks to @buildanest 2025 Sustainability Artisan Accelerator that pushes us to learn about responsible and sustainable business practices. We have a weekly running live zoom calls to learn about circular design, picking eco friendly materials, discuss marketing and branding as an ethical artisan business and more. I also was matched to a mentor where I meet weekly to discuss specific issues of the business. My business mentor was a consultant to Muhammad Yunus (founder of microfinance). Very much full circle given that my plan before staying in US was to return to Indonesia and start a microfinance company to empower women. So that is my long story on sharing how proud I am to finally getting to a plastic-free packaging on our bandanas. #plasticfreejuly
