Jordisk

Jordisk ("Earthly" in Norwegian) is a start-up based in Norway that is developing a unique distribution platform for sustainable packaging to help businesses which need single-use food packaging to become environmentally friendly by embracing products which are recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable. We are also a part of the accelerator Fauna: https://www.faunaeksperimentet.no/ There is an immediate need to replace traditional single use packaging that is normally based on fossil based plastics with more sustainable alternatives that already exist in the market. Food packaging is becoming a growing global concern, because of the large amount of waste it generates and the chemicals it contains that can be detrimental to our health. In 2014, out of the 258 million tons of municipal solid waste generated in the US, more than 63 percent was of packaging materials (for food and other purposes) and, overall, only 35 percent (89 million tons) was recycled or composted. What happens to the remaining 65 percent? We all know that landfills are frequently used and that a lot of waste is just burned which leaves a huge carbon footprint. The end of life alternative for food packaging can be significantly improved by using alternative eco-friendly materials that already exist and can be implemented in a circular model. The aim of our distribution platform is to be the natural marketplace for sellers of sustainable food packaging where they can showcase their products to potential buyers who need one time packaging. Moreover, ideal sellers would genuinely care about the environment and have a circular model in order to reduce the carbon footprint as much as possible. A typical customer would be a restaurant that offers takeaway. The food packaging industry operates in a very traditional way with one-to-one contracts and is mature enough for a disruption. With our platform, we can be the link and matchmaker between the supplier and customer. Our goal is to raise awareness in the industry and among consumers, so they can know about sustainable food packaging alternatives such as products that are made of bagasse, bamboo, mycelium, leaves, bio-laminat and plant-based plastic such as PLA. The timing is ideal, as we are currently seeing drastic changes in jurisdiction and lawmaking in Europe, single-use plastic cutlery, cotton buds, straws and stirrers will be banned by 2021 and the EU's Green Deal Strategy is to find sustainable alternatives to replace traditional fossil based plastic. We are currently doing market research in Norway in order to source and partner with producers that could be interested in our platform. The feedback we are getting so far are positive, as most new producers would like further traction in order to get much needed market share. We are actively looking for another person with the technical know-how that wants to join the team to develop this platform with us. Even though we live in an era of Instagram and Facebook where spreading awareness in a particular topic is easier than before, environmental pollution is still one of the most concerning issues in today’s world. We, as consumers, are either too busy to care about packaging, or there aren’t many sustainable options to choose from when buying a product. One of the founders, Rezowan, has a background from the travel industry, and has from many of his previous travels seen the growing amount of plastic going astray, both on land and at sea. In many Asian countries, he has seen that there are no good waste solutions that contribute to, for example, plastic being recycled in a circular way. Over the last 2-3 years, new technology has been developed that makes it easier to choose sustainable and environmentally friendly alternatives, and the main goal is to promote environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil plastics so that society can become more aware of this.

Julegenser.no

A Krismis Story The julegenser.no project is simply a result of our very first ugly christmas sweater love affair! After a visit to Canada in 2012, two sumptuous, LED flashing ugly christmas sweaters came with us home to winter Oslo, Norway. The sweaters evoked this childlike happiness over the Christmas celebration, both in us and in everyone else when we wore them to Christmas parties and we noticed that we wanted more of this feeling. We simply wanted more of such sweaters! It was easier said than done in 2012. But, if you do not find what you are looking for, you can make it yourself...so then we did it. Although it took its time. With our brand 'Krismis' https://krismis.com, we want to share this sparkling, warm Christmas feeling with you. This way you can also have the Christmas atmosphere in your wardrobe all year round, and always have something to wear at the Christmas party, not matter what. We simply love Christmas sweaters! That is why we do not compromise on quality. We wish you a Merry Christmas, and remember that the most important message of Christmas is love.

Jutebar Denmark ApS

Jutebar Denmark Aps formed in 2020 December. Jutebar Denmark Aps working with 3 among 17 FN world goals. Poverty alleviation and eco-friendly living goals are the most two common goals in which jute bar Denmark is working right now. As we are directly sourced and produced the product from a rural area in Bangladesh, they are mostly poor people. They do not have the skills to sale their product in the international market. They do not have the ability to broaden their capacity as well. Jutebar Denmark continuously working on build up their capacities and capabilities by maintaining quality which is suitable for the Nordic market. Mckinsey and company report of 2019 said that 99% of danish people worried about plastic and plastic-based material. They said the danish government should do something about the alternative of plastic. So Jutebar Denmark is working on the solution already. As jute is totally 100% organic fibre. No chemicals and pesticide can be used to grow jute. The report of Mckinsey and company also mentioned that 85% of danish people worried about ocean waste which is mostly plastic. So Jute can be the solution to this problem as well. As jute can help the land to become more fertile. Wastage of jute or jute made products can be used for landfill. As a part of recycling, jute can be recycled and make home textile which can contribute to the danish economy as well. Jutebar Denmark already thinking to establish recycle production in either Denmark or Poland so that the supply chain process will be shorter. All in all Jutebar Denmark currently working on making a bridge between the rural farmer of Bangladesh and Nordic buyer especially in the B2B market. Jutebar is a scalable business not a small business. We have a great team of production, supply chain management, quality management and a dedicated marketing team. We are working basically with jute and jute made products and Bangladesh is the land of jute as more than 60% of jute in the world produce in Bangladesh. We are continuously working and investing in IT so that our customer can easily get our product from farmer to end user. In future, we can probably use blockchain technology in Liew of issuing a letter of credit to our local bank. Our marketing policy is quite different from the traditional marketing system. We are doing solution-based marketing. That’s why we are offering our customers a customized design and packaging system. Besides all of the above, we have great suppliers also. We are much more confident to scale our business in Europe and all over the world in near future. But our current focused market area is Nordic. Besides Jute and Jute made products Jutebar Denmark also going to source other biodegradable items as well. Such as palm leaf made biodegradable plates, bowl, spoon. As single-use of plastic and plastic made plates, glass, bowls are going to be banned in Denmark and the Nordic area.JuteBar Denmark’s mission is to replace the plastic item with a biodegradable item from Bangladesh. Jutebar Denmark following the Bangladesh model here because the Bangladesh government banned plastic since 2002. So Jutebar Denmark going to adapt the system over here in Denmark.
