The handles of our "Vintage 80% mini" range are made from at least 80% recycled and reused polypropylene material, from the rebuffs of our own manufacturing workshops. We recover the "carrots" (waste from previous productions), then upcycle them to make new handles. Depending on the waste collected, 80% to 100% are reused for the manufacture of the handles of our "Vintage 80% mini" range. An eco-designed collection in which the material of the handle comes from a 100% circular economy approach within our manufacture and 100% made in our workshops at viscomtat near Thiers capital of French cutlery.
Material recycling and biodegradability - the Line and Natura ranges:
Jean Dubost takes an innovative approach with its 100% recyclable Line and Natura ranges of kitchen and tableware: a 100% recyclable stainless steel blade and a unique handle, the result of advanced research (a project launched in 2008), all to serve the environment. At first,these handles were made from a plant-based bioplastic based on cornstarch, a renewable resource. A range which was recognised in 2018 at the Exclusively Housewares trade fair in London by trend consultancy Scarlet Opus for the Design Trend – ECO 2.0 #ownyourownimpact category: this eco-design category recognises “a new direction and awareness of the eco-design movement, to ensure that each of us becomes aware of our personal impact on the environment and society”.
100% recycled cardboard packaging, printed using natural plant-based inks ensures that the needs of both nature and table lovers are met.
From the beginning of the 2020s, we replace this corn-based material that consumes large quantities of water for its production, by a plant material based on sugar cane waste: that is biobased certified vegetable biomaterial *** and industrial OK compost certified : which means biodegradable in an industrial composting center, an alternative to fossil raw materialsis.
