Your BAMKO x RIPL bottle and notebook set off a massive ripple effect of positive change
The RIPL bottle funded a full day of employment for someone in Bali, Indonesia, to collect plastic from beaches, helping to lift them and their family out of poverty.
Meanwhile, the RIPL notebook funded the purchase and protection of 1000 sq ft of rainforest in Brazil.

Meet the teams
We work with people in Balinese coastal communities who experience the effects of plastic pollution first hand. By employing them to collect plastic, we're turning waste into a resource, providing a new source of income, and empowering them to protect their home.
In Brazil, we partner with local organizations that are experts at protecting their native land. Once an area has been converted to a nature reserve, local people are trained to be rangers, saving it from illegal logging and providing a stable income.
How it works
The proceeds from your BAMKO x RIPL bottle are being used to fund the employment of plastic collectors in Balinese coastal communities.
The collectors we work with clean beaches and waterways, preventing plastic from reaching the ocean. They then take the plastic to an 'impact center', where they sort it ready for recycling.
As well as preventing ocean plastic and reducing poverty, it spreads awareness of the problem and enables local people to become part of the solution.
10,000 miles away in the Amazon Rainforest, habitat loss is the greatest threat facing wildlife. So by purchasing 'at risk' areas, our partner organisations can establish protected zones to prevent logging and mining, allowing threatened wildlife to thrive in its natural habitat.
Every order for RIPL notebooks will go towards funding the purchase of a block of land, which will protect it forever.
Why we do it
One garbage truck of plastic is discarded into our oceans and 21 acres of rainforest are cut down... every minute of every day.
But despite the scale of the problem, we believe that every action really can make a huge difference.
When we focus our efforts on systemic change – like creating employment and ongoing recycling programs – the impact extends far beyond the initial action, creating a ripple effect of positive change.
