ORIGEM is a Portuguese eyewear project founded in 2017 in Lisbon with the goal of promoting bamboo as a sustainable, fair, and affordable alternative to plastic.
In an industry dominated by big plastic and multinational corporations, ORIGEM stands out for creating high-quality handmade optical products that want to create a positive social and environmental impact with every purchase.
After 2 years of accentuated online and offline growth, the promoter is seeking 20.000€ to finance the production and sale of over 600 sunglasses to meet customers' demand for their product
The funds from this campaign will be used primarily to reinforce ORIGEM's marketing plan and for stock production. By investing in more sunglasses, ORIGEM will be able to maximize sales capacity and accelerate growth.
Sustainable production: Origem estimates to manufacture around 1.500 pairs of glasses this year, using sustainable materials and methods. The bamboo used in the production of the glasses, cleaning cloths, and pouches is a sustainable raw material that renews itself extremely fast. One kilogram of bamboo is enough to manufacture six pairs of sunglasses.
Ethical production: all of the brand’s production with bamboo happens in China, close to the bamboo extraction location, with the same suppliers for over 5 years. The promoter has a close relationship with the supplier and has ensured the labor is fair and the work environment is safe.
Net-positive impact pursuit: ORIGEM envisions going beyond neutrality and has partnered with organizations to plant five trees and rescue fifty plastic bottles for every sale. So far they have planted 15.000 trees and rescued over 10.000 plastic bottles from the ocean. Moreover, they have implemented a carbon offset scheme for every employee, through which every month they contribute to offset 1.24 tonnes of CO2 and to rescue 100 plastic bottles from the ocean.
