Their branches and trunks are harvested and dried by hand without damaging the surrounding trees. The inside of the branches and trunks is used in various thicknesses for furniture, baskets or lamps, while the bark is cut into strips and used for delicate wickerwork, such as the well-known "Viennese wickerwork". Since rattan palms require an intact ecosystem to grow, rattan processing provides an incentive for local people to maintain healthy, natural forests. ➤Our production partners: Strictly selected according to fair trade criteria When selecting our local production partners, we attach importance to fair pay, safe working conditions and reasonable working hours. We work exclusively with small family businesses that have a maximum of 20 to 30 employees. They are exclusively adult and experienced artisans. Older people in particular, who can no longer work in agriculture, benefit from jobs in handicrafts, as they can use the skills they learned at an early age to earn money and pass on traditional manufacturing methods to the younger generation. They often told us how happy they were to be able to create something meaningful and earn a good living through this work. Since all work steps are carried out by hand, the production process hardly produces any greenhouse gas emissions. We ensure all of this through regular on-site visits and ongoing personal contact with the companies. ➤The manufacturing process: From raw material to finished newspaper rack For our newspaper racks, the dried rattan fibers are processed by experienced artisans at our production partners in the Indonesian province of West Java. cut to the correct length and pliable using heat to make it flexible and shapeable.
