WHY DOES ROYAL
USE REPREVE® FOR RENNOVI™
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Aren’t there pads out there Yes, and that is the problem. Not all recycled materials are equal. Rennovi™ is made
already that are made with with only verifiable first quality post-consumer fiber. It contains NO post-industrial
waste.
recycled materials?
How can I be assured that a
product is made from
Repreve® post-consumer
recycled fibers?
Repreve’s unique U TRUST verification program preserves the integrity of the Repreve®
brand and ensures that products made from Repreve® are traceable, transparent and
certifiably sustainable. Through an exclusive technology called Fiberprint™, products can be
analyzed for their Fiberprint™ signature and the level of Repreve® content can be certified.
What is post-industrial
waste (a.k.a. pre-consumer
waste)?
Post-industrial waste refers to the material that is the waste from a manufacturer’s
production cycle – trimmings, scraps, X-Ray films, industrial dust and such – never
What is post-consumer
waste?
Post-consumer waste is recovered from the consumer supply chain, primarily from
beverage bottles, which are recycled and then ground and processed as a polyester
used by consumers.
staple fiber feedstock. Post-consumer is much cleaner stock than post-industrial.
But a hand pad is used
for cleaning. Why does
it matter?
Using a higher grade of material makes a much better and more consistent pad. But there
is an even greater reason to use post-consumer instead of post-industrial; The
Environment. Post-consumer waste is more likely to clog the landfills because, unlike
manufacturing plants, there is no economic advantage for consumers to recycle. We have
chosen to make the greatest positive impact on the planet by using post-consumer waste
only as evidence suggests it is the biggest problem in the landfills. Many of our customers
feel the same way. Choosing Rennovi™ pads, made with Repreve® , over pads made with
combined consumer and industrial waste accomplishes two goals; (1) A better quality pad
and (2) A better quality future for the next generation.
Why aren’t all Royal™ pads
made with Repreve®?
What is the value of
GRA endorsement?
What is your next
environmental goal?
They practically are. Blue, green and white pads are the most often used hand pads in the
conventional sense, so we created a separate line with a specific purpose and identity. As
customers request more products in this line we will respond accordingly. We have more
in the works now.
Rennovi™ Hand Pads are endorsed by the Green Restaurant Association (GRA) — meeting
the organization’s rigorous endorsement standards for environmental responsibility. The
GRA is a national non-profit organization that has been greening restaurants since 1990.
The GRA provides a convenient and cost-effective way for restaurants, manufacturers,
distributors and consumers to become more environmentally responsible.
That is a secret right now, but we expect to make a major breakthrough soon and with
appropriate testing, will reveal it in due time.
SAVING THE PLANET
ma de w it h
Today, fewer than 30% of plastic bottles are
recycled in the United States. Every bottle that gets
turned into REPREVE® means less petroleum
wasted and a little less pollution. Since Rennovi™
Hand Pads are made only of post-consumer waste
(not post-industrial), we encourage the recycling of
plastic bottles (The PET bottles labeled with “1”).
