What do we do?
As a company, Umberbags is made up of five enthusiastic, dedicated year 10 members. Our goal is to create beautiful practical bags out of recycled materials, our main material is broken and unwanted umbrellas but after thought and research, we have expanded to other recyclable materials such as tents and kagools. We expanded our range because we are aware that just broken umbrellas would not be a sufficient supply to create our products, moreover by using materials like tents and kagools we are still keeping our environmental message, because we feel that it is important to keep our planet and environment safe and clean for generations to come. Looking into the future, as a bigger, more developed company we would use umbrellas and tents left over from music festivals and outside events. We are aware that useable tents go to the refugees in Syria and the homeless population around the world but some tents are past salvageable and are too broken to use; we would then take material and use it towards the bags. Our low cost high profit company, after young enterprise, could use these profits, and take in the thought of helping out these organisations, helping them grow and support millions of families and people in need around the world. Keeping things as eco-friendly as possible and producing high quality products is what we strive to do. This is why we would transport materials via train, they release very little carbon fumes, in fact 30g of carbon, lowering our carbon footprint, this compares massively to the use of lorries in which they release a staggering 60 to 150 g of carbon into the atmosphere. This would, there for, be lowering the effects of global warming giving us a brighter, not to hot future. |
Our aim is to make our world a better place bag by bag . The new 5p carrier bags, tough less are being used, are a huge threat to our enviroment in the way they are produced but also in the way they are just thrown away. By using umberbags products you are buying a beautifull hand made, recycled bag that is just impossible to through away. Meaning a better future for everyone.
