Corporate Gifting – Green Gifting solutions

Friday, April 26th, 2013

Everyone was present in the main conference area. At the front was Mr. Prabhu standing shly beside the CEO and the Head of HR. The veteran employees were looking at them proudly, remembering the time when they were in Mr. Prabhu’s position while the new comers stared in awe and inspiration. It was the Employee of the Month ceremony at one of India’s prominent refineries. The HR manager gave a brief on Prabhu’s achievements and why he had been chosen among several other candidates for the award. Finally, with all eyes fixed on the duo, the CEO presented him with a sleek and stylish vintage grey bag, which held a trophy and an Employee of the Month certificate. With the smart Tote Officiel in his right and the certificate in the left hand, he proudly looked into the audience and simply said, “Thank you.”

As the Forum came to a close and the MD gave his acknowledgement speech, the employees stood by the gate with the black bags all set to be distributed. These smart Totes with their attractive graphical prints, were to be given to all the participants of the Summit as a souvenir. Attracted by its sophistication, these bags appealed to one and all and everyone made it a point to collect one before they exited. The Totes’ USP was they were 100% environment friendly and had versatile uses; creating an image just the right CSR image for the IT based company that would stick even months after the Summit.

The MNCs employees were quite excited when they received their “My Exclusive Privileges” gift coupons for the year. It had a massive 20% discount on all Clean Planet products. This was a most welcoming surprise as it came right before the gifting season. Everyone had been a part of the buzz around this brand of Eco Stylish tote bags. They had been through the catalogues that were passed around and some enthusiasts who had heard of Clean Planet earlier on had even gone ahead and made their purchase even before the discount offer was announced. As soon as their coupons were released, all and sundry made a dash for the webstore to buy their favorite Wise Totes, Compact Totes and their ‘buddy’ the Tote Pal.

Save the Lake! An OLCA initiative

Saturday, April 13th, 2013

The unique Lokhandwala freshwater lake is nestled between the mangroves in the Lokhandwala Oshiwara area. This lake is a jewel in the urban landscape and as you have seen it has various aquatic birds and a large daispora of life that include snakes like pythons, russell’s vipers etc and mammalian species like jackals(have been witnessed in the lake area), all these species protected under the Wildlife protection Act, 1972. There is an urgent need to protect this lake by de-silting and restoring the lake so as to preserve its natural beauty.

A drive conducted on 13th April, 2013 shall be supported by the Team Clean Planet under our Mumbai Kuch Kar campaign. Please support the same. Share with your friends and family. If you have or support any such cause please do let us know so that we too can be associated and propagate it.

Eco-creative Packaging

Saturday, December 22nd, 2012

Clean Planet eco-creative packaging

In addition to the product design we have put in a lot of thought and effort in designing tags , envelopes etc to enhance the eco quotient of every aspect of Clean Planet . e.g the papers used for the tags are 100% wood free , hand made papers . The main tag has been designed to be used as a book mark.
We’ve always felt that it’s such a waste for packaging to be discarded after a single use . At our office we reuse packaging material extensively .
The fact that most folks don’t reuse packaging has several aspects to it :
- It’s not a priority
- Packaging is seldom designed to encourage reuse
- The packing is over done or done in a way that makes reuse impossible e.g we see online stores that will pack even a book in shrink wrap , followed by bubble wrap and then in a carton like paper package with liberal use of tape . To get to the product you’d need to literally rip apart the packaging . Sure , the product is intact . But the planet pays a high price for every package shipped.
Every product produced requires resources – material , energy , man power , fuel . It’s not planet worthy to make single use products if the product can be designed to be multi-functional .
In India recycling is currently done at a very limited scale . All the stuff we toss in the garbage is transported to a land fill. Lack of segregation means that even bio-degradable stuff languishes in a land fill next to non-biodegradable material.
We worked on making the envelope used for sending out the orders super versatile . One side of the envelope is printed with material that customers can cut out and use in a variety of ways . The envelope is more than an envelope . It’s takes on a new life as cards / book mark / positivity dice – spreading joy and love on the planet .
The Clean Planet envelope was recently featured in ‘Packaging Of The World‘  that showcases creative packaging from across the globe.
p.s – a huge Thank You to all you awesome folks who have been buying Clean Planet products and re-using the envelope to make this a happier planet !

 

 

Happy Independence Day…

Wednesday, August 15th, 2012

We’d like to reiterate our thoughts on the significance of Independence Day…

A salute to all those who participated in the movement to make India Independent. And to all those unsung heroes across the country who have since then contributed in myriad forms to making this a more equitable , fair , liveable , joyous , progressive nation than it would have otherwise been.

What is the significance of Independence Day in present day urban India ? For the generations that have been born and raised in an independent India ? Newspapers filled with pictures of celebrities wearing clothes that have shades of the tri-color , saying what it means to be Indian . Buying little flags at the traffic signals and putting them in one’s car or desk for a few days. Participating in flag hoisting ceremony in one’s residential building or company. A few moments of solemn silence as the anthem is played. What is the connection that the rituals build with the idea of a nation ? of the idea of being Indian ? The risk is when the sentiment is limited to a few external gestures.

We can create new , meaningful rituals for Independence Day – as individuals and as groups :
- Recognize that our actions – personal and professional – shape India . If there is allegiance to the idea of a nation to which we pledge our devotion – let it reflect in consistent action.
- Make life choices – small and big – that are authentic and deeply meaningful rather than driven by external appearances / compulsions aka Inner Independence
- Give time , attention , money to those less fortunate
- Help educate a child
- Consciously choose not to litter any public space – e v e r.
- Plant trees
- Become an a c t i v e citizen
-
-
- the list can be meaningfully expanded
Eventually we need to rise above the idea of nations and see the human species as one . Until that can happen we can attempt an expansive and inclusive definition of what it means to be Indian . And be cognizant of our responsibilities and rights the other 364 days of the year.

Pl choose to create a glorious India where Independence is a reality for all it’s citizens .

Happy Independence Day.

 

 

The Green Job

Tuesday, June 5th, 2012

 

 

We don’t get out of shape with 1 heavy meal . Nor did the environment become a crisis with a single action or even the actions of 1 nation alone. We can’t build muscle with 1 intensive workout at a gym . Neither can the environment be healed in a day .

Routine , everyday choices and actions by individuals , communities , governments , businesses have cumulatively created the challenges we face on the environment front.

We need to drop the ‘what can I do’ line of thought and the consequent inaction / status quo . Each one of us can make a difference. Together , we make change.

Going Eco the Genius Way

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

At Clean Planet, we’re a little crazy and believe we can change the world. We set off on the road less taken, making reusable and eco stylish totes with innovation all over our mind. We wanted to make a tote that would be path breaking and creatively stimulating.

An ode to Mr. Jobs, Tote Imagine is a call to recognise the genius in you. It is crafted out of 100% eco friendliness and spirit to explore endless possibilities. Steve Jobs has been a continuing source of inspiration to us with his pioneering spirit of imagination. It’s created a new world order!

Imagine saving the world from 300 plastic bags per person per year. Daily use of this eco tote up scales the awesomeness & cleanliness quotient of our planet whilst letting one be who they really are. Tote Imagine is a call to action to enliven the crazy one and genius within all of us.

At Clean Planet, we often emphasise on the importance of a sustainable lifestyle. Add to this dashing eco style and you get the best products.

Collaborate with us in making this one heck of planet! We’d like for folks to get it on with their gray cells and make this world a work of art.

Happy Women’s Day

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

Clean Planet celebrates Women’s Day with pride and fervour. The world of today has reached phenomenal progress thanks to their contribution. Women have played diverse and versatile roles through time immemorial.

We urge women to dream big and pursue their aspirations. As you embark your journey, make a story to be told. Unleash all of your ability, potential and celebrate yourself.

We’d like to take this opportunity to acknowledge  - Anita Roddick - a remarkable entrepreneur, activist and environment enthusiast. She’s been a great source of inspiration to our business formation.

Here’s also thanking all gentlemen who’ve encouraged the ladies to be themselves. Let’s create an awesome and equalitarian world together .

At this point in time there are millions across the planet who don’t have access to food, medication, education. Let’s do our bit to make this a more equitable planet. While no one can do everything – everyone can do a LOT.

Cheers!
