Abel Saavedra (Ocho Products -Sustainable Artisan)

Abel Saavedra is a Colombian artisan who has dedicated part of life elaborating products out of pneumatic tube tyre. This idea of recycling and reusing came up in 2007 after a hard incident of his life that changed his whole perspective and reconsidering this idea which was in his mind ages ago.

His project has become a fantastic answer for an environmental problem which is growing out with no boundaries.

Ocho8 as named, is just a tiny help for climate change that has converted more than 3000 pneumatic tyres into useful and beautiful handmade products in south America and now through TONSUCA in Australia.

We totally support, promote and love this amazing and powerful idea for a conscious better world.
