The products are all hand-crafted by small family businesses in Indonesia using locally available sustainable or recycled materials such as teak root, coconut shells, bamboo and discarded boats and fabrics. The use of these materials benefits both local communities and the wider environment, for example using recycled teak tree roots enables the whole tree to be used in the process of making their furniture, gifts and home accessories, allowing replacement trees to be planted and thereby eliminating waste, creating employment and benefiting the environment. They have a range of wall panels hand-crafted by repurposing upcycled and reclaimed wood from discarded teak boats and furniture, bringing the natural, warm beauty of weathered teak wood into the home. The handcrafted coconut shell products utilise a by-product of the food industry, enabling the whole coconut to be used, minimising waste. The company has been travelling around the globe for nearly 30 years to maintain close relationships with all of its suppliers so that they can personally guarantee the quality and ethical production of the products. The concept of fair trade is an important part of Makasi’s company ethos, and as well as buying at a fair price from smaller, family suppliers, helping to support their local communities. Makasi also supports the local school of its Indonesian warehouse employees’ children by donating books, computers and educational resources to personally contribute to the local community. In Makasi’s most recent project it sponsored the decoration of a new library at the school with a mural, already loved by the children and staff. Makasi’s UK warehouse is full of eco-friendly products available on 48-hour delivery – check out www.makasiimports.co.uk to view the full range. 27 ECO FRIENDLY
