Unique Properties
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Products Prints by Bonna products are produced from 100% recycled industrial waste within the framework of Bonna's understanding of efficiency in the use of natural resources and sustainability in production. Bonna invites you to participate in this transformation from the table, with these products that it produced without wasting the resources of our planet.
Inspiration
The motto of the collection is "What we take from the earth, we give it back." We reduce our carbon footprint with the Prints Collection, which we produce from 100% recycled material. We cooperate with WWF-Turkey so that threatened wild animals can take one more step on earth. Every piece of Prints collection is genuinely inspired by the tail and footprints of threatened species. With every Prints product that can be put on the table, it is possible to draw attention to living creatures whose future is in danger and to make them leave another mark on the world.
Research
To raise awareness, each animal print in our product family has meaning: Black Rhino is one of the oldest mammal species in the world, the rhinoceros family, of which only 3000 individuals remain today. Crane, of which there are 15 species in the world, two species of crane live in Turkey; has inspired our folk songs, motifs and stories for hundreds of years. Hippopotamuses, whose weight can reach 4500 kilograms, are the heaviest land mammals living on earth after elephants and they consume close to 50 kilograms of grass per day.
Challenge
Reducing our carbon footprint is our priority. We are also aware that many people ignore this topic in today's consumption frenzy. As a brand, we aimed to produce a product family from materials that we recycled 100% from industrial wastes, thinking that we can influence people in this regard. The material used here is not harmful to health, the product is suitable for washing in the dishwasher and the surface is resistant to scratches.
Realization and Technology
Produced with press mold technique by using 100% recycled industrial waste.
Operation and Interaction
The aim of the project is to show that it is possible to have a stylish experience with sustainable materials. Eating, which is our daily routine, actually, we wanted to draw attention to the endangered wild animals. Join this goodness from your table with Prints products bearing the traces of wild animals whose lives are under threat. You can donate to WWF-Turkey with every Prints product you place on your table, and you can support living things whose future is in jeopardy to leave another mark on the world.

The project started on 2021 Winter in Istanbul,Turkey
