Remarkable
Remarkable Remarkable Recycled Ltd (05394545 - Incorporated on 16 March 2005) is a UK company that makes stationery products out of recycled materials.
Remarkable Recycled Ltd - and sister company Edvironment Ltd, sell a range of recycled products, its most famous - the recycled CD and vending cup pencil still being made in its new factory. Remarkable and its founder work very closely with Keep Britain Tidy, educating and linking the value of recycling waste and its conversion into recycled products. Products are co branded with the remarkable and KBT logo, with royalties going to support KBT and the valuable work they do. The products demonstrate the value of recycling and litter collection.
Remarkable Eco solutions Ltd was dissolved in 2016 with the closure of the pioneering factory in 2014, with the sad loss of some employees. This was due to a contract being cancelled with a major wholesaler. Some machinery was sold off, with the trade marks and IPR still remaining with the founder and inventor.
The Pencil was voted invention of the year, and Ed Douglas Miller, voted inventor of the year. Many other awards followed.
The most famous is the recycled pencil, each made from one recycled vending machine cup. The cups were collected from the Save a Cup Recycling Company. The invention became a Millennium product, which was sold as shown at the Millennium Dome. Other products have been made, including plastic rulers (also made from vending machine cups), recycled rubber tyres; to make mouse mats and pencil cases.
The company was granted £20,000 by London Remade, and bought brand new binding machines to bind the recycled notepads. This helped Remarkable to be able to create a greater range of products, which will help it get contracts from stores like W H Smith.
