HOW OUR BUTTONS ARE MADE
MACHINES CREATE THE BUTTONS
By carving pearl, corozo and more for different other brands.
COLLECT DISCHARGED POWDER
We collect generated powder which is released while making buttons.
REPURPOSE
We mix this powder with other recycled materials that can melt on heat as they act as glue.
MOULD INTO NEW
The powder than moulds into our new recycled buttons.
HOW OUR NYLON
IS MADE
FISHING NETS FOUND IN THE SEA
Fishing nets which are no longer usable are turned into small chips.
CHIPS
The chips are heated and passed through a spinner to form strings of yarn.
FIBER
This yarn is wound up in spools.
YARN
The fibre is then passed through a crimping machine to create a fluffy wool texture.
FABRIC
This yarn is then knitted into nylon fabric.
