Bio-economy
<\/div><\/h2>\n

For people and nature: rattan use and rainforest conservation used to exist in harmony in Indonesia, we now have an unmissable opportunity to restore this balance.<\/h2>\n

<\/div>[vc_row_inner gap=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]In recent decades man-made materials have basically replaced rattan products, and rattan\u2019s sustainable history has almost faded out of memory. Until now. Through conscious rattan cultivation, we can finally honor our promise to protect tropical forests and embrace a new approach to the modern circular economy. Not only are tropical forests essential to the livelihoods of many peoples and the habitats of numerous plants and animals, they also absorb an estimated 250 billion tones of CO2 per year. That\u2019s about 90 times the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from human activities!\u200b[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Rattan depends on biodiversity. It does not grow in monocultures, so it naturally forms a symbiosis with surrounding trees. In short, it needs the rainforest to thrive. Rattan is a renewable resource which grows like a vine, climbing from tree to tree, and it is harvested by hand by local farmers \u2013 the most environmentally friendly way. By buying and using rattan for karuun\u00ae, we’re increasing the value of tropical forests and providing an incentive to conserve forest resources, all while creating long-term stable incomes for local farmers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” css=”.vc_custom_1620396967347{border-top-width: 2px !important;padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;background-color: #f7f3f2 !important;border-top-color: #333333 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;}” el_id=”traceability”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”footer_top”][vc_column_inner width=”5\/6″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

The karuun\u00ae cycle
<\/div><\/h2>\n

With the karuun\u00ae cycle, we\u2019re uniting community, commercial and environmental interests for a sustainable and responsible supply chain.<\/h2>\n

<\/div>[vc_row_inner gap=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]By cultivating rattan for karuun\u00ae, we\u2019re actively driving an environmental and social paradigm shift within the economy. Globalisation is not only realigning ecosystems and the values of global society, culture and politics, it is realigning industry itself.<\/p>\n

This is why we\u2019ve developed the karuun\u00ae cycle. Together with our partners Fairventures Worldwide, the VIVERE Group and GIZ, we\u2019re spearheading projects to conserve and restore tropical forests \u2013 all while increasing the transparency and traceability of supply chains. Thanks to an app developed in cooperation with an integrated technology firm, customers can precisely trace where rattan has come from and we can transparently map and continuously improve our social and environmental impact.\u200b<\/p>\n

Active protection of the environment can only work if the local population benefits. That’s why we\u2019re also involved in projects to train and improve working conditions for rattan farmers and the infrastructure in their villages.<\/h4>\n

We want to enable people worldwide to lead a dignified life while at the same time maintaining a sustainable use of natural resources in the long term. This includes commercial, environmental and social aspects in joint responsibility of all actors: politics, the economy, science, civil society \u2013 and every individual:<\/p>\n
