Buy Recycled Products Directory: Personal Use Products
Buy Recycled is a social movement about acting responsibly and managing your own carbon footprint. It’s about knowing what is recyclable, making sure it gets recycled in a way that ensures the material’s greatest value, and then closing the loop and purchasing products that are made from those same recycled materials, known as post-consumer resin (PCR). The Buy Recycled Products Directory, managed by Stina Inc, is a place to see what companies are doing their part to act responsibly and the types of products that are available today for you to close the loop.
