B-roll footage: Worker putting jeans into a shredding machine, Italy (2 shots) (June 2015, Italy)The following footage was filmed in the production and recycling facilities of Mud Jeans Leasing and jeans recycling, a start-up company, pioneering a lease model for its organic jeans. Along with purchasing the organic jeans in the conventional way, users can choose to lease Mud Jeans for EUR 5/month. At the end of the product's life (in one year according to the company) the jeans can be swapped for a new pair, kept or returned and processed back into fibres which then will be reused in a new article of clothing. More than 1 500 consumers throughout Europe are currently using this innovative service. The company is based in Netherlands and also has stores in Belgium, Austria, and Germany. The production and recycling facilities are based in Prato and Urbania, Italy, where they contribute to the creation of jobs in the fashion, textile, and recycling industries. (5 shots)

B-Roll footage: Foneback, a Corporate Mobile Recycling company that collects, reuses, and recycles mobile phones. Based in London, UK, CMR is in operation since 2003 and represented in several EU countries, including France, Spain, Greece, Croatia, and Ireland. CMR's London office receives between 40 and 50 000 mobile phones per month, reaching an excess of 80 000 per month worldwide. The waste - turned into capital - comes both through its online services like Fonebank, as well as through bulk orders from corporate clients. Once received, these devices are vetted by CMR experts, a majority of the functioning mobile phones are re-introduced on the European market and those deemed unusable for use, are sent for recycling., views of mobile phones being stacked and sorted by employees at Fonebank, London (6 shots)

B-Roll footage: Umicore Group building in Antwerp, a global resources and recycling group, with activities ranging from developing innovative means of recycling batteries and used consumer electronics to the manufacturing of alloys and high-purity metals for car catalysers and photovoltaics. The company has the world's largest and most efficient plant for the recycling of precious metals. Located in Belgium, the plant deals in the recycling of rechargeable batteries with the extracted materials being reused in things like new battery stacks for hybrid electric vehicles and mobile phones. Precious metals, such as silver, gold, and platinum can be extracted, refined and reused, which is cheaper for producers and consumers, as well as beneficial to the environment. In this way Umicore completes the 'cradle-to-cradle' loop by reintroducing resources, extracted from products which are already past their life cycle, or what the company refers to as 'urban mining' Views of electronic scrap and bulldozer piling in Antwerp, Belgium (4 shots)
