I went to the YKK showroom to find out about their recycled plastic zip called Nautulon. I had a really interesting chat with the French lady there. She asked me if I am looking for the zip which has a label of environmentally friendly or I want to be environmentally friendly. The reason was the recycled zip I was looking for can only be produced in Japan at the moment which causes greater carbon footprint when it is delivered due to the distance. I really appreciate her way of thinking.
