The ethical approach
Totem cares about sustainability
We are doing our part to make a more sustainable future for our kids and our planet
by embarking on a journey to make a positive change by becoming eco-friendly.
We breath new life into old used things
Instead of allowing more plastic PET bottles to pile up in landfills, we are giving them new life
by turning them into beautiful Totem bags made from recycled polyester fabrics.
We all have a part to play
Join the movement of conscious consumers as you shop smarter with Totem
and help minimise the negative impact of single-use plastics on our planet.
From bottles to bags
This is how it’s done.
Why rPET ?
Our new eco-friendly fabric is made from Recycled PET fibres which have been certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).
We use rPET because:
- It reduces reliance on virgin petroleum as a raw material.
- It decreases greenhouse gas emissions created from processing virgin polyester.
- It’s healthy and safe for humans and the environment.

Dyes
Regular dyes are packed with all kinds of harsh chemicals, but we have committed to use ZERO hazardous chemicals or toxic dyes in our manufacturing process.
