Recycle Week!

Now in its 12th year, we're right in the middle of Recycle Week! The theme this year is "Recycling around the home". Just having a think about the products you buy and have in your home is the first step to efficient recycling. You can always head over to Recycle Now and simply search for an item to find out how to dispose of it correctly, and if it can be recycled.

At Ellie Ellie, we fly the flag to re-design, re-cycle and re-love. Here are some of the easily recycled materials that are used to make some of our beautiful eco-friendly products!

Wool  - Our versatile Check Recycled Wool Blanket Rugs are made from recycled welsh wool, and have so many different uses, from picnics at the park to getting cosy in front of the fire at home. They are individually spun to create a variety of different designs, so there's a colour to suit everyone!

Glass - The UK currently recycles 50% of glass containers like jars and bottles - once they are crushed and melted, they're molded into brand new ones! We have a whole collection of recycled glassware for your home, including tumblers, mugs and milk bottles!

Plastic - One of the most used and popular materials. It's important we pop it all in our recycling bins to be sorted, shredded, and used again and again! Our Recycled Lunch Box and Jumbo Storage bags are made from recycled plastic, come in a range of prints, and fold flat for easy storing!

Be sure to take a look at Recycle Now's website to find out what you can recycle locally and at home, and help you achieve a sustainable lifestyle!

Recycle Week is here!

We shared these great facts last year on recycling and as it's recycle week this week, we thought we would have a recap on the benefits of recycling. During recycle week see how much of your household waste and cardboard, plastic and glass you can recycle, once you start it will become second nature to do your recycling every week!

At Ellie Ellie, we fly the flag for redesign, recycle and relove, making sure all our products promote a responsible and sentimental lifestyle. We insure all our products fit within our ethos, with our recycled jumbo bags, lunch box bags and rugs being our top recycled products. Our jumbo bags and lunch box bags are made from recycled plastic bottles and our rugs are made from recycled wool.

A lot of people wonder what their recycled plastics and glass gets turned into, here is an interesting table showing exactly how your recycling is used!

Happy Recycle Week!
