If it feels as if Green Route ZA promotes the same sustainable brands since it started, that’s because it does.

Shopping that’s eco-conscious and sustainable: hemp fabric and hemp twine tote from Hemporium SA

Hemporium SA, with its slogan – Innovate. Educate. Cultivate. – is a sustainable South African brand Green Route ZA is proud to be able to collaborate with.

All Hemporium SA products are made from sustainable, durable hemp and Green Route ZA is particularly partial to the hemp twine totes made by women at the NGO H18. A tote bought five years ago is strong and sturdy as the day it was bought. And it has also been in the washing machine a couple of times, too.

Read this post for more info about the hemp twine totes – the best BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag) in the world.

Grow a green root in a Growbag

Green Route ZA is all about promoting upcycled products and the upcycled planters made by Growbag in Cape Town are a classic example of the brands that we support. Made from upcycled advertising placards, the sturdy planters bring colour to any outdoor space. (or indoor, for that matter?)

More Mungo, please

We all love Mungo, right? Green Route ZA is a passionate supporter of the homegrown weaving business just outside Plettenberg Bay. If you’re visiting the Garden Route pop in at the Old Nick Village to see the looms in action and browse the shop. Who knows, you might even pick up a Mungo gift for yourself. The towels are absorbent, soft and can double up as throws if you love them as much as we do.

Gear that comes from the sea gets upcycled

Sealand Gear bags are super-strong and indestructible. Made from waste materials and stitched into duffle bags, backpacks and outdoor gear, Sealand Gear is made to last and look good. We love the tonal colour panels and user-friendly design.
