Let us introduce you to eco-conscious Clipcord Sleeves! Like all of Greenhouse products, they are 100% plant-based and 100% plastic-free.

The clipcord Sleeves measure 110mm x 800mm and come in a handy refill pack of 100, which can easily be dispensed and stored in your own reusable container.

All Greenhouse equipment coverings feature a light green tint and their environmental certifications are printed on the material, making it easy to distinguish them from regular plastic products.

Traditional plastics are made from oil, but ours are made from plants so they help keep fossil fuels in the ground!

The material used to make Greenhouse equipment coverings and packaging is part of a broad family of innovative bioplastics that comes from plants instead of fossil-fuels, but still has very similar characteristics to traditional plastics.

The materials Greenhouse use come from nature and are designed to return to the Earth with no release of polluting substances - a true closed-loop. The process of making these materials is inspired by nature and it starts by using greenhouse gases, like atmospheric carbon as a feedstock. Nature does this all the time, it’s what plants, entire forests, and even huge structures like coral reefs are built from.

All of Greenhouse products and packaging are made from sustainable plants like cassava, corn starch, sugar cane, or beets, whereas traditional plastics are made from oil. The feedstock (raw material) used is always derived from renewable resources that can be grown and harvested in a single season, providing a sustainable material with low environmental impact.

Manufacturing

Greenhouse equipment coverings and packaging are manufactured by a bioplastic specialist in the UK, in Bradford in West Yorkshire.

End-Of-Life Options

End-of-life options are confusing, but remember - our products are always better than traditional plastics, no matter where they end up after use. This is because some of the huge environmental advantages start at the very beginning. One of the most important is that they help to keep fossil fuels in the ground because they are made from plants not oil.

The biggest problem with moving to more eco-conscious ways of managing the waste generated by tattooing, is that contaminated waste must be disposed of safely, and in some places there are laws that must be followed regarding this. 

Your best end-of-life option will depend on where you are because there are so many different regulations for tattoo waste around the world, as well as differences in available facilities, so it is important to do your own research into this. We have tried our best to be as informative as possible about our products, so please do read the information we provide on this website thoroughly so you can understand the materials and what your options are when it comes to disposal.
