Ecological Lanyards and Social Inclusion: A Sustainable Project by Rippotai

Lanyard Ecologici e Inclusione Sociale: Un Progetto Sostenibile Firmato Rippotai

Every year in Europe, around 15 million polyester lanyards are used in trade fairs and events, but most of them – 12 million – end up in landfills or in the oceans. A seemingly small choice, like opting for eco-friendly lanyards , can turn into a gesture with a great environmental and social impact. Discover how Rippotai's recyclable paper lanyards are revolutionising the sector, thanks to an innovative project that combines sustainability and social inclusion.

Prison Work: Social Inclusion Through Eco-Friendly Lanyards
Unlike traditional polyester lanyards , which are highly polluting, Rippotai's eco-friendly lanyards are made entirely of recyclable paper from sustainable sources. This not only helps reduce the use of plastic, but integrates a responsible business model that values ​​the work of detainees.

Lanyards are produced in the Altremani laboratories, located in the Forlì prison, in Emilia Romagna. This project offers inmates a unique opportunity:

  • Develop work skills useful for reintegration into society.
  • Rediscovering personal dignity through meaningful employment.
  • Actively contribute to an initiative that has a positive impact on the community.

Altremani: An Excellence in Social Inclusion
Altremani, the social enterprise with which Rippotai collaborates, has been committed for years to social security in the territory of Forlì Cesena. Thanks to educational and work projects, Altremani:

  • It promotes the culture of legality and tolerance.
  • It provides employment opportunities to prisoners and ex-prisoners, reducing the risk of recidivism.
  • It involves young people in training courses that distance them from criminal experiences.

The Meaning of Choice: An Impact That Goes Beyond
Choosing an eco-friendly lanyard by Rippotai means supporting a corporate philosophy that focuses on respect for the environment and people. Every purchase represents a gesture of solidarity, helping to give prisoners a second chance and transforming a common accessory into a symbol of hope and change.
