The Wristband That Says “I Care” Without Saying a Word

Handmade from recycled office paper, these wristbands look good, feel good & break down guilt-free after the big day.

Whether it’s a community fest, conference or a conscious brand activation, these wristbands bring your eco values front & centre. Designed for one-day wear, they’re printed with your custom artwork & include a clever QR code on the back for easy-peasy recycling. No plastic. No nonsense.
