What is the current waste load?
For information, 2 billion tons of solid waste were produced this year 2022.
Indeed, our way of life and more precisely our consumption has strongly increased these last years.
In addition, the greenhouse gas emissions of the textile industry amount to about 4 billion tons ofCO2 . This amount is related to the creation of textiles, including safety caps.
We therefore observe a mass of waste produced that continues to increase.
What is the manufacturing process of our recycled caps?
To mitigate this increase in waste production, the Surflex brand has put on sale
its very first ECO Responsible safety cap.
For the creation of the textile of the latter, the process is simple. To begin with, bottles are emptied, washed and sorted. They are then crushed into granules. This material or fiber obtained is called rPET (Recycled Polyterephthalate of EThylene) and is composed mainly of polyester.
These recycled fibers are comparable to virgin fibers. Indeed, they are very resistant and just as qualitative.
This process allows us to responsibly manufacture and design our safety caps.
Recycling as a whole, now commonplace for all those concerned about the future of waste, is beneficial on many levels.
Buying recycled products like our Eco Recycle safety cap would allow :
- Reduced energy consumption by not creating a new cap
- Considerable reduction of pollutant emissions
- Provide economic support as the recycling industry generates jobs
- To contribute to the preservation of water and air
- To limit the amount of energy used
- To participate in a responsible production

The government, as you surely know, tends to change our consumption pattern from a linear economy to a circular economy in order to reduce the production of new products to preserve our natural resources.
To find all the regulations/laws on anti-waste that are and will be in force, I invite you to visit the government website.
What is grs certification?
