Remarkable was set up by Edward Douglas Miller in 1996 to start to look at what could be made from UK recycled materials. This was long before words like sustainable and eco-friendly were fashionable.
He began by experimenting with plastic cups with the aim of trying to turn one plastic cup into a pencil. Why? Because it had never been done before and it would prove to the world that you could take one everyday, throwaway item that would usually just go straight to landfill and, instead, turn it into a new product which was fun, functional and had a long second life.
