Nordic Wristbands expands its European reach with new UK Distribution to offer its full product range, including the new sustainable Recycled Ocean Plastic (R.O.P.) wristband, to UK event organisers, March 2025.
Nordic wristbands has supplied international event access control products in Europe since 1975, offering a wide range of access control products, RFID/NFC, with bespoke design and production for all kinds of events and venues. The company has built a strong client rosta, thanks to reliable service, fast turnaround times, and a wide range of sustainable and ecological materials to replace unnecessary virgin plastics. Despite supplying 20 Million products globally, Nordic has never had a representation within the UK; until now.
Graham Brown, Nordic UK partner says:
“I have admired Nordic’s sustainable initiatives and have talked with Jone over recent years about their products being more easily available to UK festivals and events. I’m delighted to be part of Nordic UK, working alongside Andy and the Nordic team to promote the introduction of these Recycled Ocean Plastic wristbands across the UK, they feel and look great.”
Andy Winmill, Nordic UK partner adds:
“Having produced events for many years I am looking forward to introducing Nordic Wristbands to many friends and colleagues in the industry. I anticipate lots of interest in these competitively priced, sustainable products. Save money and the planet is a win-win! We’re committed to bringing the highest service levels and supporting event organisers making the switch to Nordic.”
Jone Nuutinen, Nordic CEO states:
“I’m proud to welcome Andy and Graham into the Nordic family and look forward to supplying many events across the UK.
“Our new certified R.O.P. wristbands have 70% less carbon footprint than standard wristbands and are more cost-effective.
“Globally, inadequate waste management systems are exacerbating the plastic pollution crisis, with coastal regions becoming increasingly overwhelmed by plastic waste. While the problem may seem too vast to solve, we believe in taking action where we can—and this year, we’re making a powerful change by introducing our new wristband, made 100% from recycled ocean plastics.”
“Using ocean plastics goes beyond traditional recycling solutions like rPET by tackling plastic waste at its source—before it reaches the ocean. By sourcing plastic directly from coastal communities, we help to stop pollution in its tracks, protecting marine life and ecosystems from further harm. While rPET repurposes plastic ocean plastics take the fight further by addressing waste in the most vulnerable regions, creating a cleaner planet from the ground up.
“With recycled ocean plastics, you’re not just recycling—you’re actively preventing plastic from entering our oceans in the first place. Join us in making a real difference.”
