Lanyard grading & details

Record the condition and material of the batch before photographing. This determines the recycling route.

Number of lanyards in batch≈ 0.03 kg CO₂ saved if diverted from landfill

Condition grade

Grade A — Excellent

Clean, intact strap and clip. Ready for immediate reuse.

Grade B — Good

Minor soiling or wear. Suitable for reuse after cleaning.

Grade C — Damaged

Broken clip, frayed strap, or heavy soiling. Routed to upcycling or material recycling.

Strap material

Material determines the recycling stream. Recycled PET and bamboo lanyards have priority reuse routes.
