  • Feelin’ Green tabbed dividers – made from 100% recycled polypropylene, the dividers are a useful addition to the A4 and A5 Feelin’ Green ring binders.
  • Feelin’ Green frosty document box – made from 100% recycled, medium weight, frosty polypropylene.
  • Feelin’ Green notepad – due out in early summer, the notepads are made from natural board or 100% recycled polypropylene with 80 sheets of recycled paper.

Jane Harper, Marketing Manager, Duraweld commented: “As part of our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and in response to continued customer demand, we are delighted to have developed and launched this new range of sustainable products. All the Feelin’ Green range is either biodegradable or recyclable and manufactured with minimum environmental impact.”

Duraweld is a ‘green pioneer’ and is committed to environmentally responsible business practices. In 2011, for the second year running, it was named in the annual edition of The Sunday Times Best Green Companies list, leaping 11 places to be ranked 28th out of 60. 

Fifteen years ago it became the first company in Europe to offer recycled vinyl in a range of colours, and was the first in the industry to recycle its waste to make 100% recycled frosty clear polypropylene. 99% of its waste is recycled and it holds the ISO14001 accreditation for its Environmental Management System.
