ReSpiin Shallow Jute Medium Basket - Natural
This shallow jute basket is made by ReSpiin who make sustainable homeware from recycled and renewable materials providing good quality employment in India and Bangladesh.
Jute plants are easy to grow, have a high yield per acre and, unlike cotton, have little need for pesticides and fertilisers. Jute grows during the rainy season in Bangladesh which is from June to October. One the flowers have shed the plants are ready to harvest, this takes just four to six months!
The fibres lie beneath the bark around the woody core. To extract the fibre, the jute bundles are submersed in water and left for a few days until the fibres come loose and are ready for stripping from the stalk, then washed and dried. This is what the ReSpiin baskets are made from. The remaining jute stalks can be used in a similar way to wood pulp, or work well as a renewable source of cooking fuel.

Let customers speak for us
I really like this pack of offcuts. The standard is the same but you get smaller pieces. I just stuck pieces together to make an ordinary sized bar. I also like the potluck aspect which suits me because I like all the scents
The Natural Love Company Simply Lube - Aloe Vera
Plastic Freedom, run by surfer Beth, is the sweetest, nicest, most approachable and truly human, small, natural company, providing great and sustainable stuff...with wit, panache and humour!! Everybody should go to the website for Beth's earth-friendly products.
These are so great. Perfect size. Stand alone. Great for freezing meal prep, or even for taking snacks out for my toddler. I’ll be back for more!
Great for cleaning the veg from my veg subscription which is often a bit muddy.
Have been using this for over 5/6 years now after trying several other brands. This is by far the best I have tried.
Plastic freedom communicated so well and kept me up to date when my order was out of stock. Very grateful and I LOVE the bag
I adore the design of this Baggu laptop sleeve and so far it has protected my MacBook really well
I brought three of these originally and then my other daughter who is at uni was jealous so I had to buy another one. There was no problem Beth added it to my order and sent them all together.
We are all so happy with them and they look like they will last for ever.
Many thanks and keep up the good work.
It's a lot easier to use than I expected and works really well. I'll be buying again.
I bought the jumbo lunch box and additional green lidded snack pots for my 3.5 yr old son to use at preschool. He loves it, eats all his food and has no issue opening and closing the box. (We did practice using it at home first)
A practical and pretty product, good value.
