The artisan families that work with Aptec Peru are also invested in the care and maintenance of theirΒ natural resources. Their products are made of natural raw materials such as clay, driedΒ gourds, recycled glass and plant dyes. In addition, the artisans take care to harvest all materials in a sustainable manner, to replenish plant life and maintain water quality. As part of theΒ World Day of the Fair Trade project, the artisans crafted porous ceramic pots thatΒ were filled with plants and donated them to 400 families in the village of Nuevo Ayacucho,Β providing clean air for the community.
Aptec Peru's artisans take great pride in their intricate textiles, beautiful ceramic pots andΒ vases, silver jewelry and creative gourd decorations. In turn, these crafts, and loyal buyers like yourselves, help the artisans create a sustainable income and future.
