What does R+ stand for?
Whilst taking on previous feedback from customers and the industry on rHIPS.b products and questions about what they’re made from and what does the name mean, we have renamed our exclusive range from rHIPS.b to R+, which simply stands for Recycled+.
Why have we developed this range?
This range of products offers diversity to our portfolio, with the added advantage of its pricing being the same as products made in our standard white recycled plastic. By competitively pricing both options the same, we believe the industry will welcome the R+ range as an innovative move from us, to provide the market with products that have a lower carbon footprint, without cost being a barrier to purchase.
How do we make our R+ products?
R+ products are produced from waste material from the manufacturing process (of which we’re exclusively using recycled WEEE material) as well as all the waste generated from our print process being also recycled. Both these streams of materials are blended to create R+, a unique recycled plastic. By reusing our own waste, and recycled materials being recycled again, our objective of lowering the carbon footprint of our products is achievable.
What is the difference to our standard recycled products?
The result of using our blended recycled plastic and a biodegradable additive* in this process is, products have a slightly grey-speckled appearance, offering a more natural and aesthetically pleasing look.
What products are available in R+?
The vast majority of our products are available in our exclusive R+ recycled plastic, explore the full range here.
