Goodyear Brakes Calipers by FDP Brakes (IMG)
Remanufacturing consists of taking used parts, completely disassembling them, thoroughly cleaning them, replacing worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original function. FDP utilizes used calipers as raw materials to manufacture Goodyear calipers. This remanufacturing process uses 85% less raw materials than manufacturing new OEM parts. It also reduces waste and energy consumption, using only 15% of the energy needed to manufacture new products.
Mirroring Goodyear’s values of reliability and quality, each caliper is 100% pressure tested for leak prevention and ensuring they perform like new. The calipers feature high-temperature EPDM rubber seals for optimum performance, and protective AntioxMax coating to prevent rust and extend caliper life. Additionally, FDP offers rebates to consumers for sending worn out Goodyear calipers, keeping used parts out of landfills.
Goodyear calipers provide exceptional longevity, reliability, and eco-friendliness, and are one of the many ways Goodyear’s licensing program is reducing its environmental footprint.
Mud Jeans & Van Gogh Museum – Circular Denim
In the summer of 2022, the Van Gogh Museum and MUD Jeans—the world’s first circular denim brand—launched a recycled denim capsule collection consisting of apparel and accessories. The MUD Jeans design team was inspired by Vincent van Gogh’s letters, his handwriting, and a number of his works.
The collaboration between Mud Jeans and the Van Gogh Museum has its roots in a quote from a letter sent by Vincent to his brother Theo in 1883: ‘Hoping for better times mustn’t be a feeling but a doing something in the present.” It’s a message that Mud Jeans feels is still just as relevant today, almost 140 years later. Mud Jeans is dedicated to ensuring that future generations can enjoy our planet as much as we do now, and applies circularity throughout their production process.

The Smurfs Ocean Cleanup & Village Cleaning Mobile Games (Azerion)
We partnered with IMPS to develop two games: The Smurfs – Ocean Cleanup and The Smurfs – Village Cleaning. The aim of the project was to raise awareness of sustainability through the games. In The Smurfs: Ocean Cleanup we transformed the cleaning of the oceans into a game where players of all ages get rewards based on the amount of trash removed from the ocean, while in The Smurfs Village Cleaning recycling is the main gameplay.
The games’ release coincided with Azerion’s joint campaign with NL Cares and the Surfrider Foundation in the NL to raise awareness about and take action against marine pollution. We thought The Smurfs were perfect for this project as they are the ambassadors of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. Additionally, coastal cleanup events and other ecological activities took place throughout the rest of 2021 and 2022.
