Celebrate Raksha Bandhan with love for the Earth! Select from our range of Limited Edition eco-friendly and upcycled rakhis!

1. What is an eco-friendly Rakhi?

An eco-friendly Rakhi is a sustainable alternative to traditional Rakhis, made from biodegradable, upcycled, or plantable materials. These Rakhis celebrate Raksha Bandhan with minimal environmental impact, ensuring that your bond with your sibling extends to caring for the planet as well.

2. Why should I choose an eco-friendly Rakhi over a traditional Rakhi?

Traditional Rakhis often contain plastic and synthetic materials that harm the environment. Eco-friendly Rakhis are made from sustainable materials, reducing waste and pollution. Choosing one means celebrating Raksha Bandhan responsibly while supporting ethical craftsmanship and promoting a greener future.

3. What materials are used in your eco-friendly Rakhis?

Our eco-friendly Rakhis are crafted using biodegradable materials such as organic cotton, jute, clay, seeds, handmade paper, and natural dyes. Many are upcycled from fabric scraps or embedded with seeds, allowing them to be planted after use, making them completely zero waste.

4. How do I plant the Rakhi after use?

If your Rakhi is plantable, simply cut it into small pieces, place it in a pot with soil, and water it regularly. In a few days, the seeds embedded in the Rakhi will sprout, growing into plants, making it a beautiful, lasting memory of your celebration.

5. How should I care for my eco-friendly Rakhi?

Store your Rakhi in a dry place to maintain its quality before use. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture. If it contains plantable elements, ensure minimal handling to keep the seeds intact. After the festival, compost or plant it, allowing it to return to nature.

6. How do eco-friendly Rakhis contribute to sustainability?

Eco-friendly Rakhis reduce waste, pollution, and dependence on plastic. They are biodegradable, supporting a zero-waste lifestyle. Additionally, plantable Rakhis promote afforestation, while upcycled materials give new life to discarded fabric or paper, making your celebration more meaningful and sustainable.

7. What are the social and environmental impacts of using eco-friendly Rakhis?

By choosing eco-friendly Rakhis, you support artisans, rural communities, and small businesses that create them using ethical production methods. Environmentally, these Rakhis prevent landfill waste, conserve resources, and encourage eco-conscious celebrations, fostering a more sustainable and responsible Raksha Bandhan.

8. Are these eco-friendly Rakhis handcrafted?
