Buy Recycled

The process of recycling is not complete until the materials have been manufactured into new products, and then purchased. This is called 'closing the loop'. We can all help 'close the loop' and create a demand for recyclable materials by choosing to buy recycled goods such as toilet paper, bin liners, stationery and other household items.
