Gumdrop Ltd have developed the first process in the world that allows used gum to be recycled into a new material, Gum-tec®.
Gumdrop Ltd has been founded on a closed loop recycling process. Gum-tec® is used to manufacture the Gumdrop and Gumdrop on-the-go, these are pink receptacles designed specifically for the disposal of waste chewing gum. Once the Gumdrop is full, the whole Gumdrop along with its contents of waste gum is recycled and processed to manufacture new Gumdrops. One Gumdrop bin filled with waste chewing gum once recycled can be made into three new Gumdrop bins, these can then be redistributed and the cycle can start again.
At Gumdrop Ltd we recycle all types of chewing gum waste from chewed gum coming from the Gumdrop bins and the Gumdrop On-the go, as well as working together with manufacturers to provide a zero waste to landfill alternative for gum manufacturers wishing to lower or eliminate their waste gum output. This is then recycled and put through our new process in order to create a range of compositions for use in the plastics and rubber industry. Gum-tec® is a sustainable material with a message that will resonate with businesses and consumers globally. Everyday we strive to find innovative solutions that will bring change to help keep our planet clean. Our aim is to work together to eliminate the waste gum output and to deliver innovation on a global scale.
