COMING SOON! New for 2011 - a range of products made from recycled yoghurt pots will be joining our already sucessful range of Eco products made from recycled coffee cups.



How do you get from a coffee cup to a clock?

Step one.

At work place your used coffee cup in the recycling bin.

Step two.
Your cup will be collected, cleaned and shredded.

Step three.
This shredded compound is then heated and injected under high pressure into thin strips. These strips are then sliced into small pellets, ready for use on a wide range of manufacturing processes.

Step four.
Under high pressure thousands of pellets are squashed between two very hot presses. After a short while the pellets have been fused together to form large flat workable sheets.

Step five.
These sheets are then sanded, cut, cleaned, printed on and then assembled into a variety of lovely products for us all to enjoy.

The Solarflow Irrigation system has attracted much press attention. Here is a selection of links to news articles. Click on a headline to view the full original article.

The Green Building Press
As horticulturalists around the world brace themselves for increasing climate change induced water shortages, a unique solar irrigation system is about to be launched enabling plants to be watered by combining rainwater harvesting and solar P.V technology. The British designed eco friendly system, links up to water butts and barrels and uses a tiny solar panel the size of a computer keyboard to pump the water where it is needed. It can be used anywhere including allotments where lack of electricity can hamper the use of other irrigation systems.

A solar-powered sprinkler system is coming to the assistance of gardeners whose prized blooms are wilting because of hosepipe bans. The system, designed and built in the UK, will allow the green-fingered to keep their plots fresh without having to make countless back-breaking trips to the tap with a watering can or risk sneaking out the hosepipe.
