Someone once said to me, “You aren’t really recycling if you aren’t completing the cycle by buying products made from recycled materials.”
The comment really struck home with me, an avid recycler, and made me search out products for my family that are made from recycled materials. Here are some cool products made from recycled materials for everyone on your gift-giving list.
For the Kids
Fuzz that Wuzz - What were once plastic bottles are now cuddly toys. The outer fabric and the stuffing are both high-quality polyester fiber made from 100% recycled plastic PET bottles. Each toy keeps over 10 bottles out of a landfill. Made by Mary Meyer.
For the Pets (or the Pet-Lover)
Eco Nap for Dogs and Cats - Dogs can rest easy on this stylish, ultra durable, machine washable, earth-friendly mat. Eco Nap is made of 85% post consumer recycled plastic. Incredibly, over 40 plastic soda pop bottles are diverted from landfills for every extra large Eco Nap; 21 bottles for every medium. Made in USA.
For Mom
EnviroVogueTM Recycled Plastic Tote - Is she already going green by using reusable bags? Take it a step further and use these bags made from 100% recycled bottles. As an added bonus, for every purchase made, a portion goes to support breast cancer research.
For the Home
