ashortwalk
are committed to sourcing and developing innovative new materials aimed
at saving our wonderful planet, but at the same time providing unique, clean,
beautiful products that seek to improve both our home and global environment.
The entire ashortwalk recycled
range are hand crafted in the UK and made from vending machine coffee cups
direct from the national Save-A-Cup scheme.www.save-a-cup.co.uk This innovative new material has a lovely solid, heavy, earthy feel, very much like natural slate……… we have spent a great deal of time making sure this material doesn't look and feel like recycled plastic! Recycled products not only save on landfill; one set of placemats equates to a bin liner full of coffee cups; but recycled coffee cup material has around half the carbon footprint of virgin material. Do a little - change a lot Recycling isn't just one process, it's a series of processes that starts with us all collecting and sending our waste for recycling, something we have all got a lot better at. To fully 'recycle' we must all get into the habit of then actually using those products made from the materials we have made an effort to recycle. Importantly it's all about closing the recycling loop. At work buy one vended cup of coffee today, drink the coffee, place the plastic cup in the recycling bin, and see if it's home time on your wall clock made from coffee cups next week. The recycling loop has been closed!How do you get from a coffee cup……. to a sundial? Step one.At work place your used coffee cup in the recycling bin. Step two. Your cup will be collected, cleaned and shredded. Step three. 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. Step four. 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. Step five. These sheets are then sanded, cut, cleaned, printed on and then assembled into a variety of lovely products for us all to enjoy. Step six. The entire nation goes out and buys 5 or 6 of these new and clever recycled products for all their friends and family. prices range from £5.95 - £34.95 |
