For there to be any point to recycling our waste materials, it is vital that we also buy recycled, to complete the 'loop' from user/waste producer, to manufacturer, to user/waste producer. Without us playing our part, of buying recycled, manufacturers will stop producing items made from recycled material, and so there will be no market for recyclate.
There are some fantastic products on offer that have been made from reused and recycled material. These are becoming increasingly high-quality, creative and fashionable, in addition to being environmentally friendly.
