Eco Manufacturing For Business
DGrade is a brand based company supplying the highest quality ECO friendly products made from recycled plastic bottles.
What We Do
With increased awareness of the dangers of plastic pollution and the merits of recycling, there is more and more demand for ‘Green’ products and brands. We offer a complete closed-loop supply chain from design to production and can develop product specific merchandise that fits to our clients brief and budget.
The Issue
• Plastic bottles are made from oil, oil is a finite resource and will not last forever!
• Plastic was invented in the 1960’s as a reusable and recyclable material, but it’s cheaper nowadays to make more rather than to recycle it.
• It takes hundreds, if not thousands of years, for plastic to decompose in landfill.
• Plastic water bottles cost more to make than the cost of the water in the bottles.
• On average we consume 275 litres of bottled water per person per year.
• Ever increasing levels of production needed to meet growing population expansion and demands through tourism.
• High contamination levels due to lack of investment in infrastructure making it unrealistic to recycle.
• Fluctuating price of oil means recycled materials can be out-priced and not commercially viable.
