The choices we make reveal how much we care for our world. Confronted by the social and environmental realities of our time, we choose to pursue our vision for a thriving world. Through our products, carbon giving program, and partnerships we are using business to create a better world.World Centric began with a mission to reduce economic injustice and environmental degradation through education and community networks. Founded in 2004 by Aseem Das as a non-profit, he funded the organization through a small, online store promoting Fair Trade products. Realizing the contribution compostables items have to reducing waste, they were added to the store's offerings. As demand grew for an earth-friendly alternative to traditional disposables, World Centric began to innovate and introduce our own products made from renewable resources and agricultural byproducts. We unintentionally became a leading supplier in the green packaging industry.Recognizing the power of commerce to impact the planet, World Centric converted to a for-profit social enterprise in 2009. In 2010, we certified as a B Corp, then became a California Benefit Corporation - using our products and profits as a way to make a difference in the world."When we are young, we think the whole world revolves around us - that is Ego Centric.As we grow, we connect with people who share our same religion or traditions - that is Ethno Centric.When we expand that connection to care about everyone on the planet - that is WORLD CENTRIC."
