♻️ What happens to the leftover plastic when we manufacture your tokens?
For Recycle Week, we're taking you behind the scenes of our manufacturing process.
When our tokens are injection moulded, excess plastic called a sprue is created. It's the channel the molten plastic travels through before reaching the token mould.
Once it's done its job, we don't simply throw it away.
We collect the sprues, grind them back down and reuse the material in our manufacturing process.
It's one of the advantages of manufacturing our tokens ourselves here in Sheffield: we can keep a closer eye on the materials we're using and find ways to reduce unnecessary production waste.
