rHIPS.b is made from recycled polymers including all in-house waste products with a biodegradable additive, that speeds up the natural biodegradable process of plastic. The material has been tested to ISO 15985 and ASTM B5511 certification. Watch our video for a full guide on how it's produced.
rHIPS.b is made from 100% waste materials. We take things like old products, old yoghurt pots, and the inside of fridges, and turn them into useful products
No virgin material is used. No deforestation needed to grow ‘eco’ materials
Unlike other popular bioplastics it does not require extremely particular conditions to biodegrade. The rHIPS.b polymer is broken down by over 600 naturally occurring microbes. Naturally biodegradeing in home compost, marine, and landfill faster than standard plastic
Biodegredation occurs by friendly microbes fully digesting the polymer. No microplastics. All that is left is rich biomass and water
Colourways inspired by the manufacturers location, Cornwall. Reminders of recycled history are visible – much like newspaper pulp in egg cartons, the flecks you see in rHIPS.b are the flecks from the recycled products used to create it.
rHIPS.b products are made from waste materials sourced from the UK, or from manufacturer waste we’ve created ourselves. All designed, manufactured, and distributed from Cornwall to wherever it needs to go. Meaning no air miles and more smiles.
