Recycling bollards to increase sustainability
The challenge:
To encourage manufacturers to provide, and customers to use, recyclable products.
The solution:
Cartledge sets high standards for recycling.
Part of the company's sustainability target is to ensure that 80% of its products can be recycled, and that 20% of its products are reused.
Cartledge investigated the renovation and reuse of bollards to reduce the quantity that goes to landfill sites. A different type of bollard was required to provide a solution to this problem.
Cartledge has been working with one of its suppliers, SIGNATUREŠ, to identify ways to use old bollards.
As a result, SIGNATUREŠ has developed bollards made from 100% recyclable materials. The plastics used incorporate moulded-in panels that can be re-ground and reused at the end of a bollard's useful life, to be reformed into alternative plastic products - for example garden furniture.
The benefits include:
A reduction in landfill waste.
A guaranteed graphic life of 10 years.
A fully recyclable product.
