Materiaalitehokkuus
We primarily use recycled and surplus materials in our products.
We use primarily recycled and surplus materials in our products, such as safety belts, fair mats, military burlap, advertising banners, sails and surplus leather. Our clothing materials include recycled cotton and recycled polyester, made from materials such as scrap from the textile industry and recycled plastics. Our aim is to make the widest possible use of existing materials in all our products, and the proportion of recycled and surplus materials has remained at around 95% of products sold from 2021 onwards.
In new product components such as zippers, metal parts and reflectors, we focus on safety, functionality and longevity. The reflective tapes meet EU requirements and the hang tags of the products are made from FSC-certified cardboard.

Tuotteemme valmistetaan alihankintana Suomessa, Virossa ja Intiassa.
Globe Hope's bags and accessories are subcontracted in Finland and the Baltics. We strive for responsible production and long subcontracting relationships. Globe Hope's garments were manufactured under controlled conditions in Bangladesh between 2020 and 2022. In 2023, production was transferred to India, where the recycled yarn used in the garments is also produced. Read more about the production of the garments here. You can check the country of production for each product in the online shop by looking at the product description, the hangtag or the fabric label inside the product.
Renewable products and services also for businesses.
In addition to providing material-efficient consumer products, we act as a promoter of the circular economy for other companies. Globe Hope implements a variety of recycled products from corporate textile waste and surplus materials, such as workwear or curtains, which would become waste if they were recycled.
A great example is a sustainable bag made from advertising flag fabric, which is the most ecological sustainable bag according to this report .
In February 2017, Globe Hope redeemed an unfit-for-recycling PVC mesh vinyl tarpaulin used in the renovation of the Parliament building, converting it into bags and card holders, among other things.

We value long-lasting partnerships.
Globe Hope manufactures bags and accessories with long-standing supplier relationships in Finland and Estonia. The reuse of recycled and surplus materials requires specialised expertise and close supervision. Our bags are currently manufactured in Nokia, Tampere and Mikkeli in Finland, and in Tallinn, Tartu and Tapa in Estonia. Jewellery is made in Jyväskylä, and corporate gifts are mainly made in Estonia. Our garments are manufactured in carefully controlled production in India. You can read more about the clothing manufacturing process here. The country of manufacture of corporate gifts can be agreed separately according to the customer's wishes.
Over the years, Globe Hope's bag production and subcontracting chain have specialized in creating products made from recycled materials. For instance, the basket weaving technique used in Halla and Riite bags requires special expertise, and making a single bag takes several hours.
Since 2020, Globe Hope has signed a Code of Conduct ethical guideline with its subcontractors; previously, Globe Hope entered into verbal agreements with subcontractors. The Code of Conduct, which outlines Globe Hope's operational practices, is included in the contracts in both Finnish and English.

Material suppliers
Globe Hope mainly uses surplus materials and yarns in its production. Less than 10% of our supplies and materials are new. If necessary, new supplies, such as metal parts for bags, are ordered from Accessories Friman. Globe Hope uses YKK zippers and relies on YKK for reporting on sustainability and working conditions. Since 2023, the zippers Globe Hope uses from YKK have been made from recycled polyester. New ribbons are ordered from the domestic suppliers.
