How should I care for NONA pegs to keep them performing well?
To keep your NONA pegs performing well, it's worth giving them the occasional rinse to clear off dirt or salty air. Let them dry properly, especially if you live by the sea. While they’re built to last, even sturdy plastics don’t love constant baking sun or deep freezes - so don’t leave them out endlessly. Treated kindly, these pegs will serve you faithfully for years.

Are recycled plastic pegs as strong as wooden or metal ones?
Yes, recycled plastic pegs like NONA’s are every bit as strong - arguably stronger - than wooden or metal types. Made from medical-grade PPE plastic, they’re designed not to crack, warp or rust. They cope better in rain than wood and don’t corrode like metal. Basically, they’ve taken the old peg pitfalls and thrown them out with the washing water.
What makes NONA pegs better than traditional clothes pegs?
NONA pegs are better than traditional clothes pegs because they’re weatherproof, made from recycled materials, and built to last. Crafted from 100% recycled PPE plastic, they resist snapping, rotting and rusting - unlike wood or metal options. With over 10,000 pinches in testing and a 10-year guarantee, they’re a properly long-term peg solution. And no, they won’t melt in summer or stick in winter.
Can these pegs hold heavier laundry items securely?
Yes, these pegs can hold heavier laundry items securely without slipping or snapping. NONA pegs use a strong metal spring and a high-grip jaw design that keeps hold of duvets, towels - even soggy jeans - without drama. Windy day? No problem. Their tested strength outperforms most standard pegs.
Where are NONA pegs made and how are they sustainably sourced?
NONA pegs are made in the UK from recycled PPE plastic, mainly from hospital trays that would otherwise hit landfill. By using this tough, medical-grade material, they cut down on virgin plastic and give waste a second life. The packaging is plastic-free, and the pegs are fully recyclable when their long stint’s finally up.
How should I store my clothes pegs to keep them in good condition?
Store your clothes pegs in a dry, shaded place - like a peg bag or little lidded tub. Even UV-stable materials like NONA’s can age faster if left on the line all year round, especially in blazing sun or bitter cold. A bit of shelter goes a long way in keeping them chipper.
Are NONA pegs a good sustainable gift option?
