Sturdy, repairable market crates in palm wood
In Egypt, Ibrahim Gabre is the founder of an association that aims to encourage traditional Egyptian craftsmanship. The association promotes the work of men and women who make baskets from date palm leaves throughout Egypt. With one date palm, approximately 20 baskets can be made. These baskets are entirely biodegradable, as well as more durable and repairable. According to Ibrahim, the fruit and vegetables they contain are also better protected, as they are unlikely to be contaminated by the plastic.
