How do you get from a coffee cup……. to our lovely products?

At work place your used coffee cup in the recycling bin.

Your cup will be collected, cleaned and shredded.

This shredded compound is then heated and injected under high pressure into thin strips. These strips are then sliced into small pellets, ready for use on a wide range of manufacturing processes.

Under high pressure thousands of pellets are squashed between two very hot presses. After a short while the pellets have been fused together to form large flat workable sheets.

These sheets are then sanded, cut, cleaned and assembled into a variety of lovely products for us all to enjoy.

The entire nation goes out and buys 5 or 6 of these new, clever, products for all their friends and family.
