NOT ENOUGH WASTE ?

BolderPathTM can provide enough reclaimed material resources if you can’t supply your own, or your waste isn’t enough to produce the quantity of product you need. For large quantity orders there may be a procurement delay if we need to reclaim more material for your project.

PRODUCT & PROJECT METRICS

Diversion Metrics are included in all projects that are getting Hang Tags or Metrics Summary Reports. These metrics relate to the weight of all materials contained in your merchandise. The data is categorized by what is reclaimed, recycled and virgin, and the scrap rate. All weights are expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the product and 100% of product weight is accounted for.

Footprint Metrics are the most accurate, complete carbon footprint metrics available for each individual item we produce. The data consists of the following: the footprint of the new material you avoided by choosing to support repurposed textiles instead, and any impacts on water, energy and fuel consumption required to manufacture your project. Additional fees apply for this service and can be included on Hang Tags and Metrics Summary Reports.

MATERIAL VARIANCE

Reclaimed materials are not consistent in color, finish or ‘newness.’ We maintain a stock of high quality raw materials but understand that variance will occur. Second life products are more unique and authentic because every piece is different, and you don’t have to compromise performance.

SHIPPING UMTs – UPCYCLED MARKETING TEXTILES TO BOLDERPATH

It generally should take around 15 minutes to create Hang Tags, fabric labels and screen printing setups with your supplied artwork, beyond this time you will be billed. We are happy to contribute creativity and business sense when composing your customizations if you need it.

Product development and feasibility study rate is $75 per hour. All meetings and property are confidential, you will get a detailed, sustainability-based explanation of your project and a professional finished package whether that be a Feasibility Report or production-ready prototype.

IF I SUPPLY MY OWN WASTE WILL THAT DROP THE PRICE?

Our processes are labor intensive, since we are cleaning your waste or someone else’s to make your products. Pricing is not affected whether or not you are supplying your own waste for merchandise. You can choose to pay freight to get us your waste, or we can absorb it into the project.

PRICING MERCHANDISE

Due to the dynamic nature of our business, sometimes we have to give final pricing only after we know the details of the project and in some cases we have your material in-hand.
