Paper bags
Many of the student groups in the Ateneo School of Management Business Accelerator (SOMBA) Program are concerned with the environment, sustainability and social enterprise. Like yesterday's shoes, the bags of Papelle use recycled materials. In this case, what looks like traditional basketry is actually made of handwoven paper from old newspapers and telephone directories. Don't they look fantastic? The paper bags are laminated so they're water resistant. The design on the left, which is reinforced around the body, is strong enough to carry five kilos of weight. What's more, Papelle (a French-ified play on the Tagalog word "papel" which means paper) bags now provide a livelihood to previously jobless residents of the barangay of Natipuan in Nasugbu, Batangas.

What a great idea! And they're sort of cute too.
What a wonderful enterprise! I hope they succeed beyond their wildest imaginations!
The woven recycled paper idea has been around a bit - started in Thailand I believe, but was quickly adopted in the Philippines. Nonetheless, these students have upped the fashion angle and have done a remarkable job in creating a pleasant corporate image. Now they just need to finish their website and start selling. This is the perfect season to get out and sell at the many xmas bazaars around town.
The theme of your blog is very beautiful and the article is written very well, I will continue to focus on your article.
