sustainable alternatives to conventional rubber and plastic compounds
How is GUM-TEC® made?
We source post consumer chewing gum waste from our Gumdrop Bins and Gumdrops on the go. We also work together with gum manufacturers providing a waste solution for pre consumer gum waste.
We recycle waste gum in our process to create a range of innovative compounds which can be used in many different applications replacing conventional rubber and plastic compounds, GUM-TEC®.
GUM-TEC® is a more sustainable alternative to conventional materials, with a message that resonates with businesses and consumers globally who are working towards enhancing ESG (Environmental, Social and corporate Governance goals).

Americano Mugs
GUM-TEC® can be used in food and drinks containers. We did say you wouldn’t believe what you can make with GUM-TEC®.
Gumdrop Bins
That’s right, even our Gumdrop bins are made with GUM-TEC® for a truly closed loop and sustainable recycling solution.
