This page is intended to be a directory of UK businesses that sell recycled products.
We are all encouraged to recycle, but it's not easy to find products made from recycled things.
The best way to be zero waste is to buy second-hand. The second best way is to buy things made from materials that would otherwise have gone to landfill.
Use ctrl + F if you're looking for a specific thing.
If you have any suggestions for websites I should add, or if you notice that any links are broken, please contact me!
