The Fairtrade Newspaper Placemat and Coaster set are the ideal stylish addition to anyone’s home who wants something that will create a great talking piece whilst being environmentally friendly and helping children in need.
Why we like them:
The Fairtrade Newspaper Placemat and Coaster set not only look great, are water and heat resistant and easy to wipe clean, but they also have a story with a heart. The Fairtrade Newspaper Placemat and Coaster set are made from one hundred percent coiled recycled newspaper, made in India. Initially, we were worried that the Fairtrade Newspaper Placemat and Coaster set would soak up spillages and ruin the set, however they have been treated with silicon, so they are water resistant and can be wiped clean. In fact, one of the team here at earthwhile.co.uk actually poured a quarter of a glass of water over one of the coasters to test it! Newspaper is also a great insulator, which means that whilst they look very stylish, and will bring a bit of recycled chic to your table, they will make sure that hot plates will not burn your table.
The Fairtrade Newspaper Placemat and Coaster set are perfect for the environmentally and human rights conscious consumer. A great gift idea for anyone passionate about improving the conditions of children in a third world country as well as wanting to protect their table from accidental spills, whilst keeping their coffee table stylish!
These newspaper bags are made by an NGO whose main objective is to provide education and shelter to street children. Support for this wonderful project means that these children can enjoy going to school and playing, rather than pulling rickshaws, shoe polishing, rag picking and worse.
