Gum-tec

The Gum-tec® material is made and supplied by Gumdrop Ltd, a chewing gum recycling company. Gumdrop Ltd was founded by Anna Bullus, with the goal of tackling the issue of gum drop litter across the UK. Gumdrop Ltd has two sides of the business, the first is collecting gum litter via the Gum Drop bins (image above) the collected gum then goes through a sorting process where other litters are able to be sorted from the gum. The gum can then be turned into ‘Gum-tec®’ which is a plastic injection moulding grade material which can be used by plastic moulding companies like Great Central Plastics to turn gum litter into reusable, functional products.
