CASCAYDE These satin ribbons are made 100 per cent from recycled plastic bottles and are certified with GRS. Did you know that over 100,000 metres of eco-friendly 15mm satin ribbon can be made from 12,000 plastic bottles. That’s 12,000 plastic bottles saved from landfill, repurposed and given a new life. sales@cascayde.com https://cascayde.com M COURTS M Courts is delighted to announce that its two bestselling ribbons from Berisfords are now woven using recycled yarns. These sustainable ribbons are packaged on white reels that not only look good but are made from recycled plastic and are themselves recyclable. The used plastic bottles used for these recycled ribbons are collected via various recycling points within mainland Europe. These bottles are then thoroughly cleaned for hygienic purposes and are then broken down into smaller plastic elements. These plastic flakes are melted back into a liquid form then converted into filaments. A number of filaments are then combined together and spun to create a 100 per cent recycled ribbon yarn. A huge 100,000m of 25mm satin uses 12,000 recycled bottles - that’s 12,000 bottles not going to waste, landfill or damaging the wider environment. +44 (0)20 8884 0999 www.mcourts-haberdashery.co.uk JONES Jones has stocked K55 as a poppy button for a while now but has recently added some new colour combinations; these include the white/yellow daisy, and the yellow/black sunflower.
