Katerva Nominee, Sustainability in Materials & Manufacturing

Katerva is a UK based non-profit organization, which promotes sustainability by recognizing initiatives around the world. Founded in 2009 by Canadian author Terry Waghorn, Katerva states that its mission is “To create the World’s first truly open platform for change.

The name "Katerva" (Kah-tair-vah) comes from the Latin caterva, meaning “crowd.” Katerva's goal is to mobilze and energize the crowd to collaborate on creating our sustainable future. The Katerva Awards are the pinnacle of global sustainability recognition. Through them, the best ideas on the planet are identified, refined and accelerated toward impact at a global level.

Sustainability initiatives are nominated for the awards and put through a ten-month-long evaluation process involving approximately 500 individuals. Nominees are judged upon validation, scalability, policy, and impact.

Maya Bamboo was proud to be nominated and truly appreciated the knowledge that we built about ourselves and our goals through the evaluation process. We hope in the future to have the opportunity to be part of Katerva again with Carbon Bamboo L3C.
