CLOSED LOOP – THE VISION
“And the SIMPLEST of the closed loops are our black pots…”
Customers bring 5 black pots and
get a free face mask.
Last year we got 270,000 pots!
CLOSED LOOP – THE REALITY
“And the SIMPLEST of the closed loops are our black pots…”
Cleanliness
Future partnership with remploy
In-house labels and
the mystery of the
white speck
Sample pots and
more trials
CLOSED LOOP – THE REALITY
We’re switching the moulds at the factory to rPET, so they
can be recycled into out bottles….
… that resulted into 31 bags of PVC and rPET mixed
feedstock. Any ideas?
A SUCCESSFUL INTERNAL LOOP…
Our EC containers
come in HDPE drums….
Our black bottles for the
products are made from
HDPE… mmmm
