RECYCLED & RECYCLABLE
Products from green frog designs are made, wherever possible, from materials that are recycled.
Where this is not practical, we always try to use materials that are suitable for recycling.
Our plastic is made from recycled waste plastic, predominantly plastic wrapping and carrier bags.
By choosing our products, rather than those made from virgin plastic, you are helping to restrict
the amount of new plastic being made. We recycle all
our waste plastic and, of course, our products themselves can
be recycled (if they ever wear out!!).
The recycled plastic we use is incredibly tough, but is as easily worked as wood. There is no need
for preservative treatment with insecticides or fungicides, and structures won’t splinter or crack,
so they retain their structural integrity well. The plastic is resistant to UV light, so it retains its
colour well, and is pretty much impervious to atmospheric pollutants and seasonal climatic actions
such as freeze–thaw. It insulates quite well, and is also resistant to chewing. These properties
mean that it retains its appearance, colour and functionality for much longer than timber.
The sheets of recycled plastic have a very uniform thickness, and so are ideally suited to our high-
technology manufacturing process, which uses computer-controlled machines to cut shapes to
accuracies better than 0.1mm.
We also use some metal components to fix parts together. The metals used are either stainless
steel or other rust-resistant alloy, so they have a very long lifetime. They are also suitable for
recycling.
Our packaging and literature is all made from recycled materials wherever possible. For example, assembly instructions are printed on recycled
paper, and we use recycled plastic bubble-wrap in our packaging. Even our business cards are made from 80% recycled card.
In other words: Fun, functional products that don't cost the Earth!

You only need to move the ring slightly away from the bar. They are designed to spring closed, so watch your fingers!
