2015, a recycled year ?

Ey up my faithful blogworms, it seems a long time since before Xmas, Happy New Year to you all and I look forward to maybe meeting some of you this year ?

The new year has taken a definite recycled turn so far. I have built up a stock of our fabulous recycled coffee cup and yoghurt pot boards in the period upto Xmas and have been making chopping boards, amongst other things, seen below.

We have 30 odd sheets of material in stock and we are clearing this stock and HALF it's normal price, a massive 50% saving is a significant discount.

Most of the boards are either 12mm or 20mm thick and thinking about it, these two sizes are ideal for worktops in two completely different applications

The 20mm for worktops in your home and the 12mm is perfect for campervans, mobile homes, boats and caravans etc.


We've opened the material into the campervan etc. market and the response has blown us away. Not a market we've dabbled in much upto now but clearly a new material never tried in this area before has captured folks imagination.

Any new product in any market always seems welcome as it seems we are always hungry for something different.

I think it just goes to show that sometimes it's not about brand new products but using existing stuff in a new and interesting way.  

This probably really sums up a lot of the philosophy behind recycling, re-using and re-inventing products which has very much taken hold in these last 2 or 3 years or so.

I think that the best example of recycling and re-inventing in the car world, is the campervan itself. Seeing some of them dug out of hillsides and dragged from the bottom of a lake and brought back to life is recycling at it's very best. What better interiors to put inside them than another recycled material.

Do you know .... Recycling is a wonderful world to work in. The big question is: Why aren't more people doing it ????

Lets make 2015, the year of recycling !
