Starring a bicycle tube with a fire hose for MOJEKOLO

MOJEKOLO is one of the largest e-shops in the Czech Republic. Common values brought VDODOR, MOJEKOLO and the challenge To work on a bike on a common journey. We share common values, which include sustainability not only in life, but also in business and also in relation to the environment. The cooperation did not take long. A limited edition of wallets and bags made of bicycle tubes was created. The belts were made of bicycle tubes, which we also combined with a fire hose.

Come and register with us now in the May call To work on a bike. We look forward to seeing you at the starting line :).

Playful upcycling. We built a robot from electrical waste for VŠB

We undertook this task with great enthusiasm. In cooperation with the Institute of Environmental Technologies at the University of Mining, we assembled René’s robot from electrical waste (the name means “reborn”). We have shown that ecology and originality can go hand in hand, and recycling can become art. We wish René that he represents his university well at all events where he appears.

The University of Mining shows that even a public institution can successfully embark on a path of social responsibility. We are happy about it and look forward to other joint projects.

Reuse center Ostrava. New life to old things

When the city of Ostrava with OZO Ostrava s.r.o. launched the new Reuse Center, we couldn’t miss it. On the contrary, we used the great work of the city in the field of circular economy to organize useful workshops. We showed how to use old mesh banners OZO Ostrava and how to make glasses from old wine bottles. Sorting waste is definitely the right direction, but we believe that a lot of things that would otherwise end up in landfills can get a second chance. That is also why our workshops fit perfectly into the concept of the whole event.

But it wasn’t just about old materials. An important part of our work is also ECO Catering and pointing out the issue of food waste. Visitors were given the opportunity to enjoy our sustainable cuisine, where we use the food that Czechs and Europeans generally throw most often. The children could beat our cinnamon fries from the older bread. Thank you for a great event. We believe that the Reuse Center Ostrava will serve its citizens well.

Upcycled gift sets for Prestar

Many companies want to be original when choosing gift items. However, this effort often ends with the choice of a mug or pencil with the company logo from a unified catalog of promotional items. Prestar is not one of such companies. She showed that she also wants to think sustainably in the field of promotional items. Together with us, she has prepared wine gift sets for her partners, which they just don’t look at. We could, for example, breathe new life into old bottles in the form of up-cycled glasses.

We are happy with every new company that realizes in time that social responsibility is becoming an essential part of its DNA, modern marketing communication and PR. At the same time, we realize that the upcycling of materials for gift items will not save the world, but it is a sympathetic step that will please many and also inspire in a non-violent way. In addition, after these first steps, companies often set up processes that already have real impacts on the environment.

Upcycled gift sets for DHL

DHL Freight CZ is another company that is guided by sustainability and has chosen our original promotional items. The gift sets also included upcycled glasses from old bottles, Christmas decorations from gramophone records or glass straws. We thank DHL for supporting Czech companies in products made in the Czech Republic.

The Moravian-Silesian region goes with the times. He chose our up-cycled gift sets

Improving the environment is a long-term priority of the Moravian-Silesian Region. Activities in this regard are increasing every year, which we can only help cheer. We are glad that the MSK management also pays attention to such details as promotional items. Even they can be 100% sustainable. MSK prefers Czech up-cycled gift sets, which were born in the Ostrava agency NAVZDORY. For example, a design bowl and a candlestick made of old bottles, where the production material for the candlestick base was waste wood. Just nice gifts from a nice region.

Ecological promotional items for Untraco

Untraco is another example of how sustainability is gaining the attention of companies in small steps. It is true that the keychains from its old advertising banners are not the biggest sign of sustainability, but it is a nice step and proof that the company takes the topic of social responsibility seriously. It is also possible to see how a huge shift in the thinking of companies has occurred in recent years. It is no longer just about greenwashing phrases, but about real deeds with positive inspiration in the environment. We thank Untraco for the courage to embark on such a project with NAVZDORY.

Second life for waste wood

Even waste wood does not necessarily end up in a landfill. The proof is these beautiful candlesticks, which were created in collaboration with Smurfit Kappa. We probably won’t solve the problem of wood waste, but maybe we managed to inspire a few people.

Upcycled menu for Orange Bar

That originality has any limits? If so, we haven’t been able to find them yet :). On the contrary, we designed a new menu for the Prague Orange Bar from materials that others might throw in the landfill. But that wouldn’t create these great menus from old records and car covers. We really enjoyed their transformation and once again showed that sustainability can take many forms. We are all looking forward to drinking them with you in the Orange bar.

We are reducing the ecological footprint with SUEZ

SUEZ has long supported companies that have maintained production in the Czech Republic. Thanks to that, we made a completely “tailor-made” original case from their old banners and thus we also helped them with a little waste :). We are glad that SUEZ thinks about the environment together with us. Every step counts for sustainability, and the SUEZ of those steps keeps increasing.

Eco catering – the end of food disposal

We were happy to take advantage of the offer from TV Polar to present the philosophy of our ECO catering. It was a great opportunity to acquaint the general public with the issue of food waste from households. This is an area that affects us all to varying degrees. By the way, did you know that the average Czech throws up to 80 kilograms of food a year? V NAVZDORY thanks to tasty recipes cooked from older foods in a non-violent way, we educate companies and the public.

Social responsibility is not everything. We want to go deep

A company without marketing, as if it were not today. mainly without the “green”. However, its content usually remains as vague and superficial as its designation itself and slips too quickly into so-called greenwashing. Jakub Mastík from the NAVZDORY agency and I talked about how to do it differently. How do NOTES different classic advertising agencies differ? Read in the interview.

Honest handwork AGAINST promotional items from China

We created original promotional items from the tarpaulin of the Tatra racing special of the Dakar rider Tomáš Tomeček. This limited edition includes two types of bags and a backpack. As is our custom, these beautiful pieces of tarpaulin and old car belts are hand-sewn and each bag is a proud original. These are added values that we and our partners enjoy, and they deserve our thanks for that.

Some pieces from this limited edition can be purchased here.

Thanks to Vodafone, old advertising banners have gained new life

Vodafone has entrusted us with the task. Together we had to come up with an original gift for their employees who are involved in the collection of old electrical equipment. After a few thoughts, we agreed on a solution that combined ecology, up-cycling and practicality. This solution was the production of blocks from old Vodafone banners, which thus breathed new life into it. After writing out, you only need to fill the blocks with new papers and the stylish packaging never needs to be thrown away. Just an endless block :).

VŠB is no stranger to social responsibility. It relies on the circular economy and sustainable activities

Vysoká škola báňská – Technical University of Ostrava is one of the first universities in our country to decide to deal with advertising items really responsibly. At VŠB-TUO, it becomes the rule that old materials get a chance at a new life. One example is the used advertising banners, from which we have created a limited edition of shopping bags and cases (etudes) in cooperation with the university. In addition, we involved the non-profit sector in production, so we relieved the environment a little bit, and at the same time supported clients of non-profit organizations. We are glad that our region is home to a university that deals with the area of social responsibility (CSR) in a truly comprehensive way, because there are no advertising items left :).
