Why not you pack your ecobrick with the best possible tool available?
The Earthwand is a regenerative product designed from the ground up to be the perfect plastic packing, ecobrick making tool. Its simple, yet super practical, ergonomic, sturdy and strong. And of course, its made without plastic! The Earthwand is hand crafted from bamboo, rattan and coconut fiber.
Developed over three years of ecobricking and prototyping by one of the co-founders of the Global Ecobrick Alliance, the Earthwand it is designed to not only pack plastic, but to support the local and global ecobrick movement financially. EarthWands are produced by GEA Trainer and sold by GEA Trainers as a way to fund their ecological work as per the Earthwand Regenerative Finance Document.
Best of all, we’ve carefully designed the Earthwand’s production, consumption and disposal so that after all the impacts of its life-cycle are added up, it has in the end made the world a greener place. To see what we mean, see the EarthWand’s Product Impact Assessment (UK report | Indonesian report). In this way the EarthWand embodies the ayyew, earthen and regenerative principles which guide the global plastic transition movement.
More than a product
The Earthwand was developed by GEA principal and inventor Russell Maier. His goal was to create a product that embodied the Earth principles that power the ecobrick movement-- and that energized them. His was vision was to create not just a great green product, but also a renumeration model that could financially support the local and global plastic transition movement.
GEA Trainers are the official sellers of Earthwands. Proceeds from the sale go to continuing their work-- uch as conducting as many ecobrick workshops as possible in their communities! Trainers commit to contributing a minimum of 25% of the retail price back to the GEA to support its global work.
