Novus: Closing the loop on pet accessories production

**ProjectBlu**是一家总部位于英国的宠物配件市场中小企业，拥有最先进的制造能力和全球覆盖范围。ProjectBlu提供由回收纺织品/皮革、废弃渔网和远洋塑料制成的可持续的高质量和坚固耐用的狗床/项圈/引线。凭借其行业领先的家具行业专业知识，ProjectBlu以独特的产品在市场上占据了一席之地。他们屡获殊荣的产品和创新思维动摇了该行业的标准，并突显了这些产品可能对环境造成的影响。今天，ProjectBlu希望通过采用从摇篮到摇篮的方法来生产狗床，从而将他们的可持续战略提升到一个新的水平。他们将与英国最大的宠物用品零售商**Petsat Home**和回收分包合作伙伴**家具回收集团**(TFRG)，床垫回收公司合作，测试和验证从制造到报废的整个生命周期回收过程：收集被污染/使用过的床，对材料进行消毒，一直到再制造成更高质量的产品。通过**Novus**项目，ProjectBlu将开发一种新的革命性工艺，使该行业减少对进口的依赖，减少对环境的影响，并加强英国家具制造业。

**ProjectBlu** is a UK-based SME operating in the pet accessory market, with state-of-the-art manufacturing capabilities and worldwide reach. ProjectBlu offer sustainable high quality and built-to-last dog beds/collars/leads made of recycled textiles/leather, discarded fishing nets and ocean-bound plastic. Drawing on their industry-leading furniture industry expertise, ProjectBlu has made its place on the market with a unique offering. Their award-winning products and their innovative mindset have shaken the sector's standards and highlighted the environmental impact that those products could have.Today, ProjectBlu wants to take their sustainable strategy to the next level by taking a cradle-to-cradle approach to dog beds production. In collaboration with the no.1 British pet supplies retailer **PetsatHome** and recycling subcontracting partner **The Furniture Recycling Group** (TFRG), mattress recycling company, they will test and validate a full life cycle recycling process from manufacturing to end-of-life: the collection of soiled/used beds, the sanitisation of the materials all the way to their remanufacturing into higher quality products. Through the **Novus** project, ProjectBlu will develop a new revolutionary process that will make the industry less reliant on imports, reduce its environmental impact, and strengthen the British furniture manufacturing sector.
