Here at Neco two of our best selling products, the Jellystone Designs Range and the Hookturn BYO Reusable Coffee Cups, are made from 100% silicone! Silicone is a versatile substance that is becoming more common on a consumer level and can be found in products in every room of a typical home. But what makes silicone environmentally friendly and what are it's benefits?
Silicone is an elastomer which is non-reactive, stable and resistant to extreme environments and temperatures, ranging from -55 degrees celsius to +300 degrees celsius. It is because of this characteristic that is becoming more and more common in consumer level products. Silicone is also easy to manufacturer and shape, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to other rubbers or plastics which draw excessive amounts of energy within the manufacturing process.
Silicone cookware is slowly taking over more conventional bakeware due to it's ability to resist extremely high temperatures. For this reason Hookturn have chosen to use silicone as the sole material of their BYO Reusable Coffee Cups. Unlike other reusable coffee cups which are made out of harder plastics, the Hookturn BYO Cup is made entirely from silicone which ensures it can be used time and time again without ever leeching out toxins or reacting to chemicals. Silicone is also a softer material which allows more flexibility and gives your barista peace of mind as it won't break if dropped and is basically indestructible!
The Jellystone Designs Range use hospital grade silicone that is free from PVC, BPA, phthalates. cadmium and lead, in their jewellery pieces which mean they are suitable to wear around baby. Mums can therefore be confident that babies are being provided with natural teething relief that isn't going to leech out any chemicals or toxins. The Jellystone Designs Jewellery pieces are not only safe for bub, they also look great and are a safe, non-toxic alternative to costume jewellery. Designed and made in Australia, the Jellystone Designs Range typifies Australian style and are loved by mums and bubs across the country.
