Recycle Online - Now is the time to recycle waste, use recycled products !

Recycling


When  buying, for example, a new sofa or table, stop and think whether you can get them second hand or from reclaimed materials. When you buy recycled products you are saving the energy it would have taken to produce a new version that product.

There are many sources of online recycling, recycled products, the most famous being eBay, but be warned not all of these products are second hand. You should also try local online recycling centre, second hand shops & car boot sales. When you are buying for example a new sofa or table, stop and think whether you can get them second hand or from reclaimed materials. When you buy recycled goods you are saving the energy it would have taken to produce a new version that product.

The online recycling industry is growing rapidly. Many firms are restoring old furniture and creating new products from reclaimed materials.

One such firm is www.Salvo.co.uk

The Salvo recycling centre has many recycled products many made with reclaimed building materials, these recycled products include,

  • doors, fireplaces,ironwork, kitchens,
  • tiles, lighting, radiators, stone,
  • windows  glass, bricks, flooring, flagstones,
  • roof slates, timber, beams, furniture

There are certain materials, such as Bamboo, which are more eco friendly to use than other types of timber. Bamboo is in plentiful supply and regenerates quickly. Bamboo also lasts for years because it's extremely hard waring, perfect for the kitchen surfaces or floors of your Eco friendly house. Check that any timber used is covered by Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC).

Glass is another material which can be recycled and reused. Ttura glass is made from chunks of recycled glass and most importantly is solvent free!

See www.eightinch.co.uk & www.Ttura.com for details

Eco House Agent will have it's own online recycling shop, you will be able to use our simple recycle online portal to upload you products for online recycling, because we believe in this day an age there is no reason not to recycle online, waste.
