Our eco-friendly cork products are made from the bark of the cork tree which after harvest, are left to regrow before being harvested again.
Our birch wood trays are handmade in Sweden using FSC certified material and our Elite kitchen textiles are manufactured from 100% cotton, printed with eco-friendly inks certified by Oeko-tex.
Elite Waste; Scrap tin sheet and recycled tins are smelted (turned into molten metal) and may be remade into new tin sheet or steel for industrial or commercial use, such as the construction, fencing, and automotive industries. Tins are biodegradable and will eventually rust if kept in a damp environment or accidentally buried in a land fill site.
Rice husk used in our products is also bio-degradable and will decompose if crushed and placed in a compost heap. Any waste material from our husk, textiles and birch trays are gathered and recycled where possible or disposed of responsibly and in accordance to current guidelines.
