Introducing our Large Upcycled Denim Trivet, a sustainable and stylish addition to your home décor. Handcrafted from repurposed denim and uniquely designed to provide both functionality and a sensory experience, this trivet will bring your space to life. The patchwork design adds visual appeal, while the hidden surprise of rice, cinnamon, and clove tucked within will instantly transform your home with a warm and comforting aroma. Heat it in the microwave or add a hot skillet or pot to unleash a soothing scent and make your home feel even more inviting.
At Upavim Crafts, we're proud to embrace sustainability and eco-friendliness in partnership with The New Denim Project®. This collaboration combines environmental consciousness and social responsibility.
The New Denim Project, a third-generation Guatemalan textile mill, champions circular manufacturing by repurposing discarded denim and clothing scraps from local garment factories. They meticulously sort, clean, and transform these remnants into fundamental fibers and then into new yarns. This entire process is free from harmful chemicals and synthetic dyes, conserving precious resources and avoiding synthetic fibers like polyester, nylon, and acrylic. The cottonseed and cotton lint byproducts are used as compost by local coffee growers in Guatemala.
At UPAVIM, we use these eco-responsible fabrics to create Fair Trade certified products. Your purchase from this collection directly supports UPAVIMAs, our school and scholarship programs in Guatemala's outskirts, making it an eco-friendly choice that uplifts local communities and promotes ethical production practices. It's a win-win for the environment and society, all embodied in these extraordinary products.
Our efforts to reduce our CO2 emissions generated by the sending of your orders mean that today Closiist is Carbon Positive on its shipments.
We combine Sendle, that offsets shipments CO2 emissions by supporting projects around the world, with Greensparks that allow us to do more to protect our planet.
With the help of Greenspark we voluntarily offset 7kg of CO2 and remove 2 plastic bottles from the oceans with each order at no extra cost to you.
Why 7kgs (15.43 lb)?
We took the average Carbon Emission of a 2lb package ground sent from NYC to LA and multiply that number by 4.
Why 2 bottles?
Millions of plastic bottles pollute our oceans every year, two standard bottles are a daily recommended water intake. We're committed to cleaning them up.
