Wandspro® believe in moving away from single-use plastics; products that do not last, or cannot be recycled. As such ClipCroc® is built strong, durable and designed to last many years of use.

All ClipCroc® products are 100% polycarbonate, PVC, BPA and Melamine free.

Melamine is actually a polymer of melamine and formaldehyde and has been known to leach into food and beverages (especially those that are acidic or warm). Melamine also cannot be recycled so is an end-of-life material, emits a lot of greenhouse CO2 during manufacture, and is known to consume a lot of energy since it is baked at  345°C

Bamboo is widely considered a ‘Greenwash’ solution since it cannot be recycled, gives rise to deforestation (or higher greenhouse gas emissions), uses a lot of energy and water in growing and processing, and is prone to cracking and chipping easily resulting in a shorter life.

In addition, the bamboo dust content is typically less than 30% with the rest being made up of corn starch, fillers, or melamine-formaldehyde which act like glue.

Sadly, so-called ‘compostable materials‘ have no environmental benefit since very few commercial composting facilities are available; poor sorting means collection is almost impossible and, since so much greenhouse gases CO2 and methane are released during composting, it is better to bury the waste.

It is far better therefore NOT to create the waste in the first place and to use a reusable solution, like ClipCroc® instead.

WandsPro® do not support the use of palm oil or other organic based plastics. Although they sound good on paper, in practice Palm oil monoculture is responsible for immense deforestation and animal deaths; vast peatland decimation; increased carbon emissions from transportation and processing & fires and, human rights abuse in poor countries where it is harvested.

If the true environmental cost of palm is factored in with full traceability to source palm oil plastics are significantly more expensive and damaging for the environment.
