Recycling your old materials is only half the battle. However, it’s said that if you’re not buying recycled products, you’re not recycling. Most packaging is being created with some “post-consumer content” (recycled materials), but it can be as little as 1%.

So take a look at the products you’re purchasing and determine how much, if any, is creating using recycled materials. The company behind RecycledGoods.com makes it easy!

If you can’t find something that’s recycled, then perhaps take advantage of eco discount codes and buy something that is at least eco-friendly.
