It is important that we try and buy recycled products and packaging where possible as this completes the recycling loop and increases demand for recycled material.

Many supermarkets and other companies are now supplying more and more recycled products which include everything from toilet roll to jewellery.

You can find thousands of recycled products on recycledproducts.org.uk

Companies can use this symbol on a voluntary basis and so not all recycled material will display this logo.
