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?

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”).
