Every year, around 3 million tonnes of silicone are produced worldwide, yet only 35,000 – 45,000 tonnes are recycled.

At Silclear, we recognised this sustainability gap and created re-Sil: the world’s first food-grade compliant material made using recycled silicone rubber. Our aim is to close the loop on silicone waste while still delivering the high performance industries rely on.

♻️ How it works:
We carefully collect and granulate end-of-life and scrap silicone, reprocess it and blend it into a new compound (re-Sil) creating a more sustainable material that helps reduce waste and CO₂ emissions.

Did you know that dairy cows in the UK produce an average of 22 litres of milk per day, with some reaching up to 60 litres during peak lactation? 🐄🥛

That’s a lot of milk moving through the system, which is why hygiene is absolutely critical in dairy farming!

Silicone milk liners offer a more hygienic option. Their antibacterial properties help protect milk quality and cow health, making high-yield production safer and more sustainable.

At Silclear, we’re proud to manufacture silicone solutions designed to meet the demands of modern dairy farming.

Care Tip 3: ✂️ Check before you cut.

When fitting silicone, joints should be snug but not overly tight. If the fit is too tight, it puts unnecessary stress on the ends of the tube, which can reduce lifespan and performance.

Small steps like these can make a big difference in getting the best from your silicone products.

We’re back with Care Tip 2:

🔹 Ensure any metal surfaces touching the silicone are smooth.

Sharp or rough edges can create holes, scratches, or damage to both the inside and outside of your silicone. Taking a moment to check and smooth metal surfaces before fitting can help extend product life and maintain performance.
