If you’ve been with Green Route ZA since it started out in 2015 you’re probably wondering if we are going to carry on promoting the same old sustainable brands ad infinitum. If it feels as if we promote Cosmic Bazaar, Hemporium SA, Mungo Design, Sealand Gear and Grow Bag, over and over again that’s because we do!

We’re not afraid to be brand loyal. And, let’s face it, Sealand Gear bags, and hemp products are made to last waaaay longer than an equivalent product made of degradable material. The initial outlay for a Sealand Gear backpack or a Hemporium SA hemp twine tote could feel a little steep but they won’t need replacing after a couple of years.

Cosmic Bazaar gets zero-waste in the bag

Green Route ZA is proud to be affiliated with Cosmic Bazaar in Cape Town. Based near Cape Point, this young business has sustainability top of mind, from products to packaging.

Order from Cosmic Bazaar and you’ll discover affordable zero-waste groceries, CBD products (including highly recommended Bliss Balls) to help with pain, stress and anxiety. And a range of CBD products for pets – great for that dog that barks when you leave him at home or a puppy that chews the furniture due to stress.

Hemp clothing and 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.

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.

From surf to Sealand Gear

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.
