Orthex is a finnish plastic factory, it’s originally from Lohja. In Finland there is one factory, and the other two are in Sweden. Orthex makes different things for kitchen, bathroom, children, home and for outside. They started the factory from a small room many years ago and it’s growing up all the time.

Orthex streight is that they use plastic made from wood, sugar cane, old plastic bottles and fishing nets for their products ( in 2020 they are trying to use the 20% of the nature ). That means you can use those products for a long time. It is easy to recycle again and again.

They produce the plastic in this way: they make plastic flakes, put them in to the machine, melt the plastic with a lot of heat and push it to a mold by presion. They can finish one item very quickly because of the water, it would calm down the temperature.

Orthex is known for their quality products, thats why consumers wants to buy them. That is also a reason why the machines are working all the time. It is so important that orthex uses different materials from nature and plastic because we have to recycle.
