HEAVENDROPt Creates Products That Benefit Veterans, People With Developmental Disabilities, and More
At HEAVENDROPt, it all comes full circle. People with developmental/intellectual disabilities, along with veterans with disabilities, create products out of used military parachutes and sell them, with the profit going to people with developmental/intellectual disabilities, and veteran assistance organizations. They call it their triple bottom line and it’s a really great thing.
It’s a social enterprise that prioritizes people, planet, and profit done in association with Evergreen Life Services.
Sue Buchholtz, CEO of Evergreen (an organization whose mission is to provide services and support to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities), was invited to an Air Force Base in Florida where she saw the potential to develop products from parachutes that could not be used again.
From there, she wanted to develop a social enterprise that included employing people with disabilities, giving back to veteran organizations, and recycling. That’s where Heavendropt began. Put simply, they create unique products made from parachutes and sell them in order to benefit veterans.
Let’s start with the military parachutes and the products they make from them. The parachutes are ultra durable and make for great necklaces, bracelets, bow ties, tote bags, and more.
The necklaces are made from authentic recycled military parachute material and decorated with individual designer beads; each one is unique and you can get them in blue, green, red, gold, pink, and black.
A really great find is the parachute tote bag. One side of the bag and the straps are made from parachute material and even features the HEAVENDROPt logo. Tote this bag around for your groceries, carrying sports equipment, or for keeping all that stuff you have in the trunk of your car.
Keep your cat, dog (or even your horse) in style with the tie on pet bandana. They come in five sizes, based on the neck size of your pet, and are military green with the HEAVENDROPt logo. The parachute choker is a requested addition to the line. This snug-fitting necklace has a gunmetal lobster claw clasp and chain with the copper charm logo. This product closely resembles the cause bracelet, made of 6” of recycled authentic military parachute cord.
Many nonprofits feature rubber bracelets to show support for their organization. How perfect is it that HEAVENDROPt uses parachute cord, instead? You can also find this product as a tri-braid.
The ties they sell are inspired by paintings of people with disabilities. They partnered with The Necktie Company and was among one of the first nonprofits chosen for this honor. The Patriot Tie in red, white and blue was created by Jane W. She said that she wanted to paint a police officer and a flag. She created a stunning design with red and white stripes and an officer in blue.
Buying these products ensures that people with disabilities, wounded warriors, and their family members, gain specific but transferable job training and employment opportunities. These products are unique and support a great cause. For more information, check out HEAVENDROPt!

Give Your Customers More By Selling Made In The USA Products
When you buy products in retail stores or online, do you check first to see if the product was made in the USA? Does it matter to you if it wasn’t made in the US? For many consumers, this one simple difference in where the product is made makes all the difference on whether they’ll buy the product.
Many consumers feel that a product that is made in the USA is of a higher quality than a product that is made in China for less money and shipped back over to the States. As with any decision, there are advantages and disadvantages to making products in the US. But if you’re a business owner who’s trying to make this important decision, we have a few tips that can sway you toward making your products in America.
Job Creation
One of the easiest pros to see about making more products in the States is the creation of more jobs for American workers. Trade policies have both hurt and helped American job growth, as evident by the 5.7 million manufacturing jobs that were lost between 1998 and 2013. But by keeping many of the manufacturing jobs in America that many corporations send over to foreign countries, the number of available jobs in America could increase significantly.
Economic Boost
Not only does domestic manufacturing create more jobs in America, it can also add a significant boost to the economy. More jobs mean more workers making awesome products for consumers to buy. And happy consumers are more likely to keep buying and stimulating the economy. According to the Economic Policy Institute, every U.S. manufacturing job supports 1.4 additional jobs in other parts of the American economy. This adds a steady growth to the U.S. economy year after year.
Conservation
If you’re someone who cares about the conservation of natural resources and protecting the environment, then you might be interested in selling made in the USA products for that reason alone. Because of lax regulations in foreign countries (such as China and India), as well as the burning of fossil fuels used to transport goods across the ocean to the States, importing products often hurts the environment. Greenhouse gasses are continuously released into the atmosphere thanks in part to loose environmental regulations in those foreign countries. Manufacturing in America helps to reduce our carbon footprint thanks to EPA regulations.
Human Rights
Another big factor that can sway a business toward going American made products only is the human rights factor. Although this isn’t always the case, in many countries the rights of workers are vastly different than in the US. Instead of having strict laws that protect employees, many workers in poor and underdeveloped countries have to work in harsh conditions for long hours and little pay. Even in China, where much of our products are imported, the working conditions are inhumane, with workers spending 12 – 13 hours a day working and then spending the night sleeping in crowded and dirty dormitories with other workers. Child labor is also a big contributor to some overseas manufacturing plants and farms. You can check the International Labor Rights Forum’s website for more info on this subject.
As with anything, there are advantages and disadvantages to selling Made in the USA products. As a business owner, you must make the decision yourself based on research, budget, and what works best for your business model.

SodaPup Makes Natural Rubber Chew Toys That Dogs Will Love
If you have customers that are looking for a healthy new alternative to their same old boring chew toys, then SodaPup is what they need.
SodaPup is a Portland, Oregon company that manufactures and distributes their unique brand of rubber chew toy to pet owners all across the world.
What makes SodaPup stand out from the rest of the chew toy industry is their commitment to manufacturing their products right here in the USA, as opposed to them being manufactured in a foreign country, and then shipped over the sea to the States.
What many people don’t realize is just how many of the pet products we give our furry friends are made in China. There are advantages to dog toy companies having their products made in China, such as low production costs, leading to lower prices for consumers.
But this also leads to unintended consequences, such as poor wages for factory workers, environmental hazards because of a difference in environmental standards in China, and dangerous working conditions.
SodaPup wants you to know that they’re not just a company driven by the bottom line; they truly believe there is a better, more responsible way to do business.
That’s why they came up with one of their most popular products, the Original Can Toy. This product is where SodaPup gets its name: a chewable and durable soda-can-shaped chew toy that comes in 3 different brightly colored styles.
Every product from SodaPup is made from their own original rubber compound, consisting of all-natural rubber. Most chew toys claiming to use rubber are actually using synthetic rubber or thermoplastic rubber, which can pose a health risk to your pet due to a primary ingredient in these rubber toys: petroleum.
Their original compound is not only healthier for your dog, but they also strike a perfect balance between durability and chewiness. Dogs will love these colorful toys for years and years!
Because SodaPup’s Can Toys are shaped like real soda cans, they are also hollow in the center and have holes in the top, just like any normal can of soda. This allows pet owners to place their dog’s favorite treats inside of the Can Toy for an even more enjoyable experience!
Have smaller pets? No sweat! SodaPup also has a wonderful Puppy Collection that is made from a much softer rubber compound that’s specifically engineered for pups with tender mouths. This softer compound also helps to massage their puppy gums when they’re teething.
What about the other end of the dog-size spectrum? Does SodaPup cater to the Pitbulls, Bulldogs, and Rottweilers out there? Of course! Their Magnum Collection is for rough and tough chewers; dogs who are more aggressive with their toys. These chew toys are made from an ultra-durable variation of the original rubber compound, along with a special additive, that works together to increase tear strength.
For the hunters out there, check out the Hunter Collection. These Can Toys and other chew products come in a bright, highly visible orange color, and are boxed in camouflage packaging. The collection includes floating training dummies, retrieving toys, dental toys and tug toys, to help train hunting dogs like Labrador Retrievers, Pointers, Beagles, and more.
They also make sure to comply with USA environmental standards when making their products, which just so happen to be among the highest in the world.
The local jobs that they help create due to their USA-based production facilities in Colorado and Minnesota mean they’re also committed to creating fair wages and a better life for many workers living in the States.
SodaPup knows what dogs love, and have made the perfect chew toy for the cherished pup in everyone’s life!
