Fair Trade Organisation Our overseas orders are important. Traidcraft has helped a lot with production development and we have been able to attract other buyers. Traidcraft is a very well established fair trade organisation that really helps us in design development and with links to get new buyers. Traidcraft tries to know our weaknesses and help us to solve them. Prem Sapkopta Production Manager GPI is a company set up in 1984 with a loan from the World Bank. Originally it made paper from lokta for the local market. In 1988 it began trading with Body Shop and its market was exclusively export for some years. It also began using more environmentally-friendly raw materials (waste cotton from garment factories and waste paper from local businesses) because lokta use was linked to deforestation. Employee have grown from about 20 to over 100 (80% women), all in permanent jobs. Products are made from a variety of raw materials including cotton rags, waste paper, along with banana tree stems, water hyacinth and jute.
