Recycled plastics
Transforming production away from single use plastics
At Pinpops, sustainability and innovation are at the core of every new product we offer. Plastics have become an integral part of our daily lives, finding their way into a multitude of applications due to their affordability and versatility. In our organization, we recognize the importance of harnessing the potential of plastic while ensuring responsible usage and disposal practices.
Our commitment is clear: we are on a mission to revolutionize the way plastics are used, making our products more sustainable and environmentally friendly. To achieve this, we have set ambitious goals, targeting a complete transformation of our entire product range. By the year 2030, we aim to transition all our plastic products to be crafted from either recycled or renewable plastics, ensuring a greener future for all.
In 2019, we took a significant step forward by collaborating with a renowned industry leader to introduce the world's first fully biodegradable badge. Crafted from PLA plastic, a biodegradable material, this badge exemplifies our dedication to innovation and eco-conscious practices. The printing, executed using the cutting-edge Xerox® Iridesse® printing press, is done on recycled paper, further reducing our environmental footprint.

Additionally, we've expanded our product line to include RPET lanyards, made from plastic pellets sourced from recycled plastic bottles. These pellets undergo a meticulous process, transforming ordinary PET plastic bottles into high-quality yarn that is used to create durable and sustainable lanyards. We are confident that, with time, all our lanyard products will be seamlessly replaced with materials made from recycled plastic, supporting the circular economy.
Moreover, our delightful collaboration with Unifi® suppliers, who provide us with their exceptional REPREVE® yarn, guarantees not only eco-friendliness but also unparalleled quality. Even our lanyard accessories, including safety breakaway buckles, have been carefully designed with a focus on durability and safety, with materials sourced responsibly and extensively tested to meet stringent standards.
In the summer of 2020, we introduced two new lanyard accessories made from composite plastic, incorporating wheat straw to reduce the plastic content. This innovative approach not only enhances the durability of our products but also minimizes our impact on the environment. Our dedication extends to other products, such as mousepads, microfiber cloths, and tube scarves, all produced using recycled plastic and printed using a method that has proven successful in our RPET lanyards.

We are proud to announce that our RPET tube scarves, made from recycled plastic, are already available for purchase. While the production cost may be marginally higher due to the use of eco-friendly materials, we firmly believe in the value of sustainability and its long-term benefits for both our customers and the planet.
At Pinpops, we invite you to join us on this journey towards a greener tomorrow. By choosing our products, you are not just making a purchase; you are making a difference, supporting a sustainable future where innovation and environmental consciousness go hand in hand.
