Social Enterprise at My Khatulistiwa

Social Enterprise

What is social enterprise?
Social Enterprises are most of the time profit making companies with strategies to grow and contribute to the well being of its surroundings and causes. These are typically companies with business models tailored specifically to support causes the company believes in.

Our Eko Merchandize is our social enterprise business model. For every product we sell, 40% of the profit is channeled back into the company’s CSR fund, which supports the various causes we believe in.




Eko Bunting
Next time you need to print buntings, consider this; a fabric bunting that works and looks just like the normal tarpaulin bunting. Its made from fabric, gives a brighter color output, suitable for both indoors and outdoors and its recycleable = less guilt! Contact us for quotation.

Eko Print
Take your environmental responsibility a step further. Print green!

Soy inks are extremely beneficial for recycling process. This is because soy ink stains are easily removable from paper as compared to artificial inks, are easily washable and cause less damage to the paper fibers. Further more soy ink waste does not pose any threat to the environment. So it makes more green sense to print on recycled paper using soy ink. Oh and soy ink is produced from soybeans, how cool is that! Suitable for anything that needs to be printed on paper such as brochures, leaflets, name cards etc. Contact us for quotation.

Eko Bag and Planter boxes
Khatulistiwa’s Eko Beg more than just a green eco bag. Made from “recoverd materials” these are bags with character, each one of a unique design, making you the ONLY one that owns it! When you use Khatulistiwa’s Eko Bag, you promote the 4R concept. You REFUSE a plastic bag, REUSE a tote bag, REDUCE the amount of plastic bag that ends up in the landfill and finally RECYCLE the bag after its reached its lifetime. It’s definitely a feel good bag!
