PRESS ARTICLE: Highlights from SWEEEP/Kuusakoski press release June 2010
Boris Johnson receives off the cuff gift
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London, received an off the cuff gift at last week's Give and Take event at City Hall, when Justin Greenaway from SWEEEP/Kuusakoski presented Mr Johnson with a pair of cufflinks from Nulife Glass. The cuff links are made using the glass recovered from old television sets, demonstrating the variety and diversity of products being made using the material recovered from waste electronics.
Justin Greenaway comments: “It was great to see the Mayor of London championing small household electrical recycling last week. While it's really important to get people bringing along their waste electricals, it's also crucial to be able to show how the recovered materials are making it back into the manufacturing industry for use in high quality, everyday products. It's this last stage of the recycling process that few people are aware of. However, many consumers and businesses like to purchase goods with recycled content - especially when it's from items they themselves have made the effort to separate and take to a household recycling site.
“That is why we wanted to present the cufflinks to Mr Johnson and show him how waste TVs from London is helping to provide raw materials for a wide range of exciting products.”
