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!
