Butia
OUR VISION
The Founders direct experience in dealing with European city council’s waste management programs exposed various troublesome issues that had to be addressed within the sector.
Unsightly trash decorated our city streets, bringing down public sentiment. A better solution needed to be developed.
We developed a unique Smarter, Stronger, Greener and economically viable alternative to the existing general use bin liner offering.
Working with the World’s leading manufacturers, chemists and frontrunners in green product development, we have developed a totally unique solution that combats all issues surrounding plastic bin bag usage.
THE RESEARCH
Planting trees in cities reduces stress and depression.
Researchers planted trees and grass in more than 500 vacant lots in Philadelphia and found the greenery had a positive impact on people’s mental health especially in low income neighbourhood.
People felt happier and their heart rates slowed suggesting they felt less stressed as a test researcher only removed rubbish from other vacant lots, but this made no difference to people’s stress levels.
The researchers suggest green spaces improve our mental health.
Butia Bags beautify urban environments with a natural plant theme which according to the above has been proved to reduce stress and benefit psychological effects on the community.*
