Laundry hampers from One World Projects

NEW YORK–Three companies received Eco Choice Awards for presenting the most innovative and environmentally responsible gift, home and lifestyle products at the New York International Gift Fair, which ended yesterday.
The fourth semi-annual Eco Choice Awards, co-sponsored by NYIGF and GREENRetailer magazine, were bestowed to “green” gift and home products in three categories – Most Innovative, Most Sensitive Use of Materials and Most Sellable. Retailers attending the show voted to determine the winners among some 200 “green” products in NYIGF’s SustainAbility: design for a better world display. “We asked market-goers to pick their favorite ‘green’ products, based on inventiveness, newness, aesthetics and functionality,” said Dorothy Belshaw, NYIGF director and senior vice president at GLM, which owns and operates the show.
One World Projects won the Most Innovative award for its recycled plastic laundry hamper from India. This multipurpose basket was handmade in India from recycled plastic. The salvaged plastic strands are created by melting recycled plastic bottles and other bits of plastic waste gathered in the slums of Chennai, India.

Exhibited by One World Project, the baskets won in 2009 the International Star Award at California Gift Show.
