Our Mission
Our mission is to breathe new life into discarded materials, transforming them into beautiful pieces of functional art. We are transforming a problem into a solution by seeing excess plastic not as 'waste,' but rather as a resource with untapped potential. It's only when we don't use this material that it becomes a waste. We are demonstrating a way communities around the world can enrich themselves with an affordable new recycling system. Our culture must stop producing & depending on single-use plastic. In the meantime, and in the wake of realizing industrial plastic recycling's inadequacies, in is up to people like you & us to find a solution to the plastic problem.

Our dream is to inspire households, businesses, and communities worldwide to appreciate the intrinsic value of recycled art, understand its role in preserving our planet, and adopt responsible consumption patterns. Together, we can create a world that merges creativity, functionality, and sustainability in perfect harmony.

Our Story
In a bustling neighborhood there lived a remarkable couple named Jeff and Gabi. United in love and a shared passion for the environment, they sought to create something meaningful, sustainable, and beautiful, a legacy they could pass on to their son, Luciano, and the world at large.
Jeff, a practical man with a heart full of artistry, had a profound connection with the environment. His love for permaculture, sustainability, and entrepreneurship converged into a unique skill set that allowed him to view discarded plastic containers not as trash, but as a canvas for transformation. The sound of birds chirping became the rhythm to which he worked, and his workshop, a sanctuary where creativity and sustainability danced a harmonious waltz. Every curve, every colour, every pattern of the functional art pieces he created echoed his deep respect for Mother Earth and his commitment to her preservation.
Meanwhile, Gabi harboured a dream. She envisioned a home filled to the brim with greenery, a living sanctuary radiating with life. Her love for plants intertwined with her passion for sustainable living and holistic health. She complemented Jeff's work by intricately weaving the plastic shelves into macrame hangers, creating the perfect companions for her thriving indoor garden. As a foodie and an experimental home chef, she nurtured her family with meals prepared from her home-grown produce. She ventured into creating a chemical-free home, lovingly concocting eco-friendly soaps, detergents, and cosmetics, showing the interconnectedness of health, wellbeing, and environmental impact.
Then, there was Luciano, their little beacon of hope. His wide-eyed curiosity and infectious laughter were a constant reminder of the urgent need for a healthier, more sustainable world. His presence ignited in them an unwavering commitment to create a better future for him and generations to come.
Inspired by Gabi's vision and driven by the joy of Luciano, Jeff and Gabi turned their humble home into a testament to sustainable living, a vibrant symbol of hope and inspiration for their community. Each day, their shared mission to live harmoniously with nature became more intertwined with their lives, and the idea of Sustainable Artisan was born. A family-run business that marries art with sustainability, Sustainable Artisan represents their journey, their commitment, and their dream for a greener world. With every product purchased, you're not just buying a functional piece of art, you're joining a family's story of love, creativity, and sustainability."
