Resource cartons filled with recycled materials – including ideas sheet with photos February 2007  Kinley Innovations Ltd received a small product development grant from S. I .F. T. ( Sustainable Initiatives Fund Trust ). This money was used to research the use of waste products – in particular the types of machinery and waste materials available for cutting into educational shapes. The purchase of a specialized cutting press and development of a range of cutting knives has allowed us to utilize a variety of waste materials that we would have otherwise not found useful. We now produce a range of geometric shapes cut from cardboards, papers, fabric, foams & plastics which are incorporated in our resource cartons & packs. ( we are continuing to add to the shapes range).
