Recycling is finally becoming mainstream. In 2018 almost a third (32%) of municipal solid waste was recycled or composted. We couldn’t be more excited about this move towards a circular economy, where we make something and then transform that thing into another beautiful commercial thing to buy. In this way, we help reduce and prevent trash buildup and spillover into our lands, water, and air.
Shopping consciously and sustainably is extremely important for the health of your loved ones. This season, your family and friends deserve high-quality, sustainable gifts! We curated this gift guide to include only goods made out of 100% recycled materials. Yes, keep on shopping this season for your loved one, and make a direct impact while you’re at it.
Recycling reduces the amount of waste in landfills and incinerators, contributes to the conservation of natural resources, prevents water pollution, saves energy, creates jobs, and well, we could literally keep on going on the hundreds of benefits. Buying products made of recycled materials means you are taking part in an important part of the circular closed economy. We close the loop on waste and trash, and instead keep it all in the same loop to keep our people and planet healthy.
