Buy recycled!shopper

 

Be a smart shopper!

Paper, plastic and other products can all be made from recycled materials; without the price rising or the quality going down.

 

Long term goal

If we buy more recycled products we'll encourage manufacturers to demand more recycled materials to produce items from. Ultimately, this will reduce rubbish we bury in the ground as landfill.

 

What can I do?

  • Re-use shopping bags
  • Choose products with less packaging (e.g. loose fruit & veg.)
  • Consider sell by dates
  • Ensure your products that are energy efficient
  • Avoid buying products containing hazardous materials (look for symbols on packaging)
