Sustainable Plastic
What is Sustainable Plastic?
Plastic can be considered 'sustainable' if it is made from recycled plastic waste, which is also known as post consumer regrind, or if it is made from organic materials such as Bioplastic which are fully recyclable.
In the UK, just 45% of plastics are recycled. This means that 55% of plastic waste will end up in landfill. In an effort to reduce plastic waste, we aim to stock as many sustainable and reusable products as we can.
