Buy recycled

By buying products made from recycled materials you are closing the ‘recycling loop’, which is just as important as recycling itself!

By buying recycled products you help save valuable resources, reduce the amount of waste going to landfill, conserve energy and increase the demand for recycled materials.

The more products we produce from recycled materials in the UK, the better for the environment. We could reduce our imports and the carbon emissions associated with transporting new goods over long distances!

You will be surprised at how many recycled products are available nowadays. You can get anything from garden furniture to toilet and kitchen rolls, pencils, kitchenware, clothes and paper.

Check out the recycled products guide to see if there is a recycled version of the product you want to buy.

On average, every family in the UK uses around 330 glass bottles and jars a year.

Recycling two bottles saves enough energy to boil water for five cups of tea.
