Bottle caps, offcuts, rejects or broken objects: all materials that are recovered and turned into durable objects rather than being thrown away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Pink October, he designed and made pink ribbons from recycled plastic. Handed out to all employees at our Pornic branch, these symbolic objects carry an essential message: the importance of breast cancer screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La Refabrik\u2019s approach is based on an entirely local loop. The plastic is collected in the Pays de Retz area, then cleaned and sorted by type and colour before being shredded into flakes. It is then processed in La Bernerie-en-Retz using low-tech machines and an injection moulding process, with moulds designed by Alexandre himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With La Refabrik, Alexandre combines craftsmanship, the circular economy, and local and environmental commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Feel free to visit the <a
