The made from range, designed and manufactured in the UK, comprises 100% recyclable cups made from materials including fabric waste, trainers, bubblegum, traceable marine plastic – such as discarded fishing nets and recycled coffee grounds.
According to Earth.org 92 million tonnes of textiles waste is produced every year. To combat this issue, 30% of the Circular&Co fabric cup’s outer layer incorporates non-reusable textiles transformed into injection-moulded fibre pellets. The remaining 70% is made from recycled plastic.
The outer layer of the circular design expert’s new trainer cup is made from 50% recycled trainers, whereas both the bubblegum cup and traceable marine plastic cup are made from 100% of the relevant waste material.
Dan Dicker, founder at Circular&Co, said: “Our new Made From range is a world-first collection of drinkware solutions that look to solve the problem of growing waste at the very source, providing a variety of materials, from waste fabric to traceable marine plastic, with another life.
“This enables businesses to ramp up their hydration category while making a real difference. Our new circular solution to waste means no more destroying, digging up and cutting down. Everything we need is already here waiting to be reused, reborn and re-loved. It’s a simple choice that can create a world of change.”
