Recycled aluminium 7

Recycled aluminium: A smart solution • Overview of materials
Recycled aluminium is made from used aluminium products such as soft drink cans or aluminium packaging.
Instead of mining and processing new aluminium ore, these old aluminium products are collected and remelted to
create new aluminium products. By using recycled aluminium, fewer new raw materials are used.

Recycled milk packs

From used milk cartons to new promotional products
Recycled milk cartons are a valuable source of new products. Milk packaging material consists of aluminium,
paper and plastic, which are carefully separated, sorted and processed by machines. The remaining paper is
made into notebooks and other functional items, among others. Products with a special past, ready for a second
life.

Recycled glass

Timeless promotion with recycled glass
Bottles that are placed in to recycling are firstly broken down and washed. This material is then melted down
into recycled glass to make new bottles or other functional glass products. When this new product is eventually
placed in to recycling, the process starts all over again.

Recycled cotton

Feeling good about reused textiles
Cotton can be recycled from textile waste from the textile industry (pre-consumer) or from discarded consumer
textiles (post-consumer). In this process, different raw materials are often combined. Worn textiles are carefully
sorted and stripped of buttons, zips and labels. The fibres are then machine combed until only the pure fibres
remain. These are mixed with a small percentage of virgin, organic cotton or polyester and from these, strong
yarns are spun. Collection 2025
