What is special about mint and black?
The elements in color mint consist of resource -saving EPP (expanded polypropylene), which contains 15 % recyclhat content from maritime industrial waste. By recyclate, recycling plastic particles mean that in this case comes from maritime industrial waste.

Why don't all colors have a recycling content?
That would also be our wish. However, there are still some factors that unfortunately do not make it possible to add all colors with recycled material. On the one hand, the recycling content depends on the nature of the starting material, the recyclate, which is already pre -shaped in terms of color and thus limits and difficult. Another limiting factor is the performance of the material in terms of strength, surface quality and fractivity.
