    Did you know it takes over one hundred years for a plastic bag to decompose in a landfill site? Nearly everything we buy has at some point been in a plastic bag or wrapper. Most consumers actually recycle their plastics bags by using them again to carry something else or as waste bin liners, but the volume of non recycled plastics bags still proves to be a problem. With this is mind, the manufacturer of this product takes used plastic bags from a number of shops, local authorities and other industry and makes them into sheets of recycled plastic bags. The bags are graded and sort into different colours so that the sheets made can be of a single colour. The sorted bags are then shredded and placed between a special material and then into a heat press. The special material (a top secret patented product) stops the plastic bags from sticking to the extremely hot plates in the press, but also causes the bags to fuse together. Each sheet of recycled plastic bag material is made by hand and its final design remains a mystery until the end.

Carlsberg goblets made from the embossed Carlsberg lager bottle. Developed from an idea used first on environmental projects in Botswana, and Namibia. These funky glass were developed with the originators of the idea in South Africa. An environmentally friendly & fun use of a Carlsberg Bottle. The pack includes 2 glasses and makes an ideal gift. The bottles are first cut and then ground before being melted to make a smooth drinking surface. The glass is then annealed to ensure they are as hard wearing as possible. The entire process takes about three hours. As the glass isn't melted down as with the normal process of recycling glass these glasses save about 90% of the energy from the recycling process.
