Posted by Huskee on 24th Aug 2023
In recent years, consumers have become increasingly conscious of the impact of their purchases on the environment. With this in mind, materials manufacturers have been developing innovative solutions to cater to this demand. Tritan Renew 50 is one such product that we believe is of interest and suitable for the environmentally conscious consumer. Tritan Renew 50 is a plastic that is made from post-consumer recycled material, designed for our industry.
We are excited about our HuskeeRenew range. We hope you are too. In this blog, we want to discuss what the HuskeeRenew range is made of and give you a small insight into some of the decision processes of how we consider materials and products. In the world of design theory, you have to weigh up the tradeoffs between product feasibility, product viability, and product desirability. Featured below, we will focus on some of the environmental considerations and material considerations of the HuskeeRenew range.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
A key development principle of Huskee is minimising the embodied energy and environmental footprint of our products. Embodied energy refers to the total energy used to create a product during manufacture and transporting it to get to the consumer. As Tritan Renew 50 is derived from recycled plastics, this innovative material boasts a significantly lower embodied energy compared to virgin material. By choosing Tritan Renew 50 to create our HuskeeRenew range, Huskee is ensuring that our production process aligns with our mission of sustainability. As a B-Corp company, we are committed to finding and developing new and environmentally beneficial materials and solutions to create our products. Another core environmental principle of Huskee is to utilise waste products an recycled content in our material choices to support a circular economy. Waste diversion is an important benefit of Tritan Renew 50.This particular material helps us meet those goals, increasing the value of existing materials and keeping them from landfill. The ability to use post-consumer recycled plastic is key and means that less plastic ends up in our landfills and oceans, and less new plastic is used. Using innovative materials showcases the power of material science and selection.
MARKET CONSIDERATIONS
