Artisans produce a wide range of products, (carpentry, metalworking, fabrication, art and craft and paper bag making etc) manufactured from both recycled and new materials.DASICO is a registered company yet every member is, 'self-reliant and independent' and therefore self employed. Each member pays a 7% fee to the administration of the co-operative that covers such items as utilities, maintenance of buildings and machines and marketing. Dasico members have access to health facilities in the workplace and the coop provides insurance protection against sickness and death.
