CASE STUDY
TURNING FASHION WASTE INTO HANGERS
A leading hanger producer challenged us to recycle post-consumer fashion waste into clothes hangers.
Resource: Germany collects more than 150 truck loads of unwanted clothes. Every day! We used the sorted out, non reusable fraction and transformed it into injection moldable Fibre-Pellets.
Circular Material: The Fibre-Pellets are added to the resin at the hanger production site. We replace the virgin polypropylene resin with a post-consumer recycled one.
Application: The industry´s first Circular Hanger! Made out of 100% recycled content. 100% recyclable. At the end-of- life the hangers get collected, reground and injected back into new hangers again.

CASE STUDY
FLOWER POTS MADE FROM
DENIM WASTE / OLD FISHING NETS / OCEAN BOUND PLASTICS
The US based company RePots wanted us to design and produce a series of flower pots made out of 100% recycled materials. We produced two different sizes from 3 different materials.
The first series is made form 100% recycled fishing nets, collected and recycled in the EU. The second set of pots was produced using 100% recycled PP from the fair-trade, ocean bound and GRS certified supply chains of Plastics For Change. Last but not least we used our recycled Fibre Pellets mixed with recycled PP to produce a unique surface making every flower pot a unique design piece.
