At Bunches, we believe that a business can and should have a positive impact. That’s why we have an ongoing commitment to sustainable business practices.

We are dedicated to continuously reducing our environmental impact, and as part of this we are proud that our pot range includes seagrass pots and jute pots from Terima Kasih, all of which are 100% natural.

Terima Kasih is an ethical manufacturer based in Indonesia, who we use as a supplier as part of our ongoing commitment to being planet-friendly and proud.

They are the world’s only manufacturer using certified rattan, a type of climbing or trailing vine-like palm native to tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Australia.

Rattan production is a major industry in Indonesia, a country well-known for its rich biodiversity and vast rainforest regions. However, unsustainable practices in some areas have caused overharvesting and deforestation, causing uncertainty about the future availability and sustainability of producing rattan.

Terima Kasih's mission is to produce and import products sustainably, with a focus on caring for people and the environment. Their products are responsibly crafted by communities in rural areas across various Asian countries.

Not only do they promote an eco-friendly living environment that respects both people and animals, but Terima Kasih aims to secure a better future for the children and future generations of these communities. They also offer fair working conditions, equitable wages, and comprehensive benefits to the local community such as guaranteed year-round employment and offering two freshly cooked meals per day.

Their holistic approach to employee well-being not only enhances the quality of life for their workers but also promotes sustainable development and social equity in the area.

When you purchase a rattan pot to decorate your home, you're doing much more than simply adding a stylish touch to your living space; you're making a conscious choice to support sustainable practices, protect the environment, and uplift communities around the world.

"Terima Kasih" means 'Thank you' in Indonesian, and here at Bunches, we want to say this to all our valued customers. Together we can make a difference, one rattan pot at a time.
