PROVOKAME

Produces 100% biodegradable plates, made from natural fibres and recycled paper.
2013 SEED Gender Equality Award Lauréat-e Green Technologies Cali, Colombia

PROVOKAME buys paper for recycling from local retailers and turns it into pulp enriched with natural fibres and seeds. This pulp is then transported to women in rural areas, who use it to make biodegradable plates. Finally, the plates are sold via supermarket chains and shops specialising in organic and natural products. The production satellites are exclusively run by female heads of households who have been trained by PROVOKAME. They work from home and receive payment for each unit produced.

Eco-Inclusive Impacts
PROVOKAME's entire process contributes not only to the reduction of pollution and sustainable waste management, but also creates job and income for women, while additionally increasing environmental awareness among the community. 
  • Providing flexible work and business management skills to female heads of households.
  • Enabling participants to generate an annual income of up to USD 3,000 dollars per year.

  • Offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional disposable items reducing pollution.
  • Helping cut GHG emissions by substituting polymer plates.
  • Equivalent of 25 full-time jobs created, including 15 for women.
