Recycled Plastic

06 Aug 2020

We know how much plastic is harmful for the environment. It's no secret that plastic waste is one of the biggest threats to our planet, but sometimes, we just can't avoid using it altogether. That's why, at our company, we make it a point to use plastic that has a lesser impact on the environment - recycled plastic. By using recycled plastic in our products, we're doing our part to reduce the amount of new plastic that is being produced, while also creating high-quality and durable items that our customers love. So let's take a closer look at why recycled plastic (when we have no other option) is the way to go.

What is it?

Why we like It

Recycled plastic is a great alternative to new plastic because it offers several benefits that make it an attractive choice for environmentally conscious consumers. Here are some of the reasons why we sometimes use recycled plastic in our products:

  • Fewer fossil fuels: Using recycled plastic means that we are reducing our reliance on virgin plastic, which requires significant amounts of fossil fuels to produce. By using recycled plastic instead, we can conserve natural resources and reduce our carbon footprint.

  • Reuses scrap: Recycling plastic waste helps to divert it from landfills or the ocean, where it would otherwise remain as litter or take hundreds of years to decompose. By reprocessing plastic waste into new products, we can reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in our environment and create a more circular economy.

  • Recyclable: Products made from recycled plastic are themselves recyclable, creating a closed loop in which plastic waste can be continuously repurposed into new products. This helps to reduce the amount of new plastic that needs to be produced, as well as the amount of plastic waste that ends up in our environment.

  • Durable: Recycled plastic is just as durable and strong as new plastic, making it a great material for a variety of products. In fact, recycled plastic is often even more durable than new plastic, as it has already undergone a previous life cycle and has proven to be able to withstand wear and tear.

    Applications

     

    At our company, we are proud to offer a range of products made from recycled plastic. Here are some of the items we offer:

    • agood gluestick: Our gluestick is made from recycled plastic, which makes it an eco-friendly option for all your sticking needs. The gluestick is just as strong and reliable as any other gluestick on the market, but with the added benefit of being made from recycled materials.

    • Natural Grass Pen: Our natural grass pen is another great example of a product made from recycled plastic. The body of the pen is made from recycled plastic, while the cap and clip are made from natural grass. This combination of materials creates a unique and stylish pen that is also environmentally responsible.

    • Natural Grass Graphite Pen: Our graphite pen is similar to our natural grass pen, but with a different design and functionality. Like the natural grass pen, the body of the pen is made from recycled plastic, while the cap and clip are made from natural grass. The pen uses graphite instead of ink, making it a great option for artists, writers, and anyone who loves to sketch or take notes.

    All of our recycled plastic products are made with care and attention to detail, ensuring that they meet our high standards of quality and performance. By using recycled plastic in our products, we are able to create items that are not only functional and reliable, but also environmentally friendly. Whether you need a gluestick for your office or a stylish pen for your personal use, our recycled plastic products are a great choice for anyone who wants to make a positive impact on the environment.

    Benefits of using recycled plastic

    We believe plastic should not be used at all but if one have too then it shold only be recycled plastic as this is an important step towards creating a more sustainable future. Here are some of the benefits of using recycled plastic:

    • NO virgin plastic: By using recycled plastic, we are reducing our reliance on new, or virgin, plastic. This helps to conserve natural resources and reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in our environment.

    • NO waste: Recycling plastic waste into new products helps to divert it from landfills or the ocean, where it would otherwise remain as litter or take hundreds of years to decompose. This reduces the amount of plastic waste that ends up in our environment and creates a more circular economy.

    • NO virgin material: In addition to reducing our reliance on virgin plastic, using recycled plastic also helps to reduce our reliance on other virgin materials, such as wood or metal. This helps to conserve natural resources and reduce our impact on the environment.

    • NO fossil fuel extraction: Producing new plastic requires significant amounts of fossil fuels, which contributes to climate change and other environmental issues. By using recycled plastic instead, we are reducing our reliance on fossil fuels and helping to create a more sustainable future.

    • YES recyclable: Products made from recycled plastic are themselves recyclable, creating a closed loop in which plastic waste can be continuously repurposed into new products. This helps to reduce the amount of new plastic that needs to be produced, as well as the amount of plastic waste that ends up in our environment.

    • YES durable: Recycled plastic is just as durable and strong as new plastic, making it a great material for a variety of products. In fact, recycled plastic is often even more durable than new plastic, as it has already undergone a previous life cycle and has proven to be able to withstand wear and tear.

    Conclusion

    At our company, we believe that sustainability should be a top priority for all businesses. By using recycled plastic in our products, we're doing our part to reduce our impact on the environment, while also creating high-quality products that our customers love. So the next time you're in the market for a glue stick or a pen, consider choosing one of our recycled plastic options - you'll be doing your part to help protect our planet
