Re-cycled grosgrain ribbon which looks and feels exactly like standard grosgrain ribbon, but has been sustainably made using 100% post consumer plastic bottles. The ribbon is attached to 5m cardboard reels using paper tape, wound, and finished with a recycled paper sticker. Ten plastic bottles make approximately 100 metres of 1.9cm ribbon, which means that for every two 5 metre reels of Ruby & Bo ribbon produced, one plastic bottle is saved from landfill, or from damaging the wider environment – like our oceans.L:5m x W:1.9cm
THE MAKING PROCESS
1. The plastic bottles are collected from recycling plants, washed, sorted and crushed into balls.
2. The balls are then ground into small flakes, washed again and heated.
3. The flaked become molten plastic, and this is then extruded at high pressure into yarn.
4. The yarn is coloured using water-based dyes, and used to make the ribbon!
Hey presto – a win win situation thanks to Ruby & Bo!
