About RPET and our sourcing:
RPET uses less water and energy in production and therefore reduces the carbon footprint of this product. Use of recycled materials prevents existing plastic from going to landfills/waters and prevents new plastic from being created. This is a step on the journey to more sustainable futures and we’re so proud to be bringing this product to Indian Country.
We worked with an overseas manufacturer to acquire this ribbon. They told us it’s made from recycled material (RPET) and we’re taking their word on it. We have not been able to independently verify their sourcing – we barely leave Anishinaabewaki, let alone traverse the globe. Nor do we have the financial resources to hire a firm to do that research for us (and who’s to say they would be able to verify anyway???). So, we’re relying on the information we have; that’s the best we can do.
*No exceptions to the no substitutions rule, even if your brother is the tribal chairman or head dance judge.
