Bini
Behind the brand Binibrand, there’s Alice and Perrine, who have a good fork… But they hate the idea of their lunch break taking place at the expense of the environment.
They launched a crowdfunding campaign in the winter of 2020-21 which enabled them to launch Bini: reusable cutlery made in France, bio-sourced, with guaranteed traceability and durability, suitable for food contact, BPA-free and which can even be washed in the dishwasher!
The design of the Bini kits has also been well thought out: Alice and Perrine called on the services of Margaux Kellera product/furniture designer and interior architect, to create cutlery that’s as beautiful as it is clever. She’s a designer who seeks to arouse emotion through design, to make people smile by working on memory: an obvious universe and collaboration for Bini!
Since then, the range has grown and we’re delighted to be able to offer it.

Step One
BTCPTP stands for “Bouge-toi, c’est pour ta planète”! Behind Step onea young French company, we find an innovative concept for limiting waste in everyday products.
Their goals:
- no longer transport water (water represents more than 80/90% of the weight in this type of cosmetics: an aberration in terms of transport);
- stop throwing away bottles (186 million shower gels, 174 million shampoos…an astronomical quantity of bottles to recycle and only 49% are recycled…);
- Pack the powder in a compostable/recyclable bag;
- use natural ingredients and allergen-free fragrances, sourcing as close to home as possible (France, Europe);
- to be produced in France: more precisely in Aurillac in the magnificent Cantal department.
- Make a vegan product, not tested on animals.
But that’s not all: BTCPTP is committed to a social virtuous circle and employs disabled people to package their products.
