Recycled Products

I suppose it is a statement of the obvious that it has to be better to use old and used products for a new purpose, rather than throwing them away and adding to the mountain of waste material in our landfills; we might even make a fashion out of reusing products. Sometimes this can be simply taking advantage of different technical stages in countries across the world, such as finding homes for unwanted computers in lesser developed countries. This is a very worthy process and one to be applauded and encouraged.
At Yourtomorrow we have some products that use Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) and turn these into desk items (see http://www.yourtomorrow.co.uk/product/13/recycled-pcb-mouse-mat.php for the Mouse Mat and http://www.yourtomorrow.co.uk/product/13/recycled-pcb-wall-clock.php for the wall clock). These are both made from new PCBs, made in larger quanities than required by the computer manufacturers, and then made into other products rather than being thrown away. Altenatively our recycled glasses are made out of old bottles. funky but attractive. http://www.yourtomorrow.co.uk/product/7/recycled-grolsch-goblets.php are beautiful glasses made from old Grolsch beer bottles while http://www.yourtomorrow.co.uk/product/7/recycled-glass-tumbler-clear.php are simple clear glass tumblers made from wine bottles. These are all examples of reusing products and turning them into something else useful rather than throwing them away. They are examples of Recycling as a creative activity. What better way to spread the word that you believe in building a better world for future generations than to give such a gift?
