Products made from recycled waste
It's not just odd or unusual products that are made from recycled waste. Some of our everyday household items are available in supermarkets and made from recycled waste; bin liners made from recycled plastic and toilet roll made from recycled paper. So do your bit, buy recycled and close the recycling loop.

Ethical Beds are a new take on designer furniture: chunky, rugged beds made from solid wood, each one unique, distinctive and hand-made, taking about a month to complete. However, this is not new wood being used for the frames: each bed has had a previous life - old roof purlins, factory joists, marine timber. In a world where our carbon footprint is becoming much more important, the primary power source in the making of these beds is simple elbow grease! [Lancashire]

Green Glass makes some unique and pretty clever glassware by cutting up recycled bottles. Because we don't melt the glass down it saves 90% of the energy normally used to make recycled glass. They make fantastic looking glasses and a great talking point.
From start to finish it takes about 3 hours for a bottle to go through the process of transformation into a wine glass. We hope you agree that the end result makes it all worthwhile.
