My corporate goal
I want to mainstream paper push up tubes in South Africa. I want to see so many small businesses switch from plastic or tins to the cutest paper tubes for their lip balms and bigger tubes for their deodorants, sunscreens and whichever other product they make; that we capture the attention of BIG brands.
I want to start a snowball effect that will eventually remove all plastic skincare product containers off the shelves of not only South Africa but the world.
I have been buying my products’ paper tubes from the same supplier in Wuhan, China, since 2021. I have a great relationship with them, and having lived in China from 2010-2023 not only can I speak and type Mandarin, but I also have a deep understanding of the culture and how personal relationships impact business relationships.
To this effect I have started utilising my personal connection with my supplier in China by importing plain unlabelled tubes in bulk to resell to small businesses in South Africa to try out without having to commit to massive MOQ’s. Because I am a long term customer and have a special relationship with my supplier I am able to get these paper tubes for a much lower price than others would get should they try ordering directly off Alibaba.
I have also started a service where I assist some of these same businesses to order their own custom branded tubes after they found out how amazing paper push up tubes are.
My ethos
Furthermore I believe that choosing sustainable shopping practices is the responsibility of every human, because it is s a powerful way to contribute positively to the health of our planet.
By opting for eco-friendly products, not only will you support businesses committed to reducing the impact of commerce on the environment and promoting ethical practices, but you will also be joining the ranks of a fast-growing group of mindful consumers .
Every purchase you make becomes a vote for a greener future, where resources are conserved.
We all should embrace sustainable shopping as a conscious lifestyle choice, knowing that our seemingly small decisions today will have a big impact on the world of tomorrow.
