The Environment
When you use our products, you are also doing your bit to protect the environment for a number of reasons:
- Polypropylene is made up from carbon and hydrogen, and is manufactured without any dangerous emissions.
- It is a member of the polyolefin family – the easiest plastics to recycle – and the material can be simply granulated and reprocessed. 100% of the material is recoverable and re-usable.
- It can also be incinerated, without any harm to the environment. When burnt, polypropylene is non-toxic and will only give off water vapour and carbon dioxide, which is converted by photosynthesis.
- As Polypropylene is resistant to water and most oils, greases, and chemical products, it is extremely hard wearing, very tear resistant and therefore re-usable.
