Recycling is not all we can do to reduce the problem of waste. It is also
important to close the loop, that is to buy products that have been made from recycled
materials or that are at least packaged in recycled packaging. In buying these products it
increases the demand for our waste making it more cost effective to collect and sort, this
aids in making recycling a viable business propostition.
HOWEVER, if you don't know what products are recycled or are in recycled packaging,
shopping for them can be a nightmare, it can take hours to read all the labels to find
out. So below is a list of a few household items that are either made from recycled
materials or packaged in recycled materials. If you know of anymore products please e-mail
claire@acrenet.force9.co.uk so that they
can be added to the list.
