“What is a recycled tie?” you may be asking…
Recycled ties are made using plastic bottles that are put through a recycling process and then spun into recycled polyester yarn. Although ties have long been known as a mark of professionalism, recycled ties represent so much more – they represent environmental awareness and a commitment to helping the environment whilst maintaining the quality of standard polyester ties.
Recycled ties limit pollution
In the UK approximately 13 billion plastic bottles are used each year – plastic is ending up in places where it shouldn’t be and it is causing harm. Vast amounts of plastic pollute our oceans, endangering wildlife and entering the food chain. However, one of the great things about recycled ties is that they prevent plastic bottle waste entering and pollution our oceans.
Recycled ties help reduce landfill waste
Only 50% of plastic bottles used per household are recycled whilst the remaining plastic waste ends up in landfills – plastic takes over 1,000 years to degrade! Each recycled tie saves an average of 2 plastic bottles from landfill.
