The Recycle Warehouse - good as new

How could you not love a company whose guiding principles include:  “Sustainability comes first, profit comes second.” And where every product is made from at least 50% recycled content?

pictured above - L and R:

Bicycle Earrings (£3.49) - made from recycled wire and tin by Teenage Mothers and Girls Association of Kenya, TEMAK.

The Unswoosher Boot for men and women, (£60/pair) - the sole is made from recycled tire, and the upper is an organic canvas from hemp.  Here’s the kicker — it has a hand-painted logo and is finished with a hand-brushed bit of mud!

U.K.-based, The Recycle Warehouse is headed by Friends of the Earth Board Member and Greenpeace activist, John Halladay, who’s on a self-proclaimed crusade to lead the way in the battle against climate change.  With almost 400 items featured, you can find one-of -a-kind, upcycled jewelry and clothing as well as many green items for your home or office. Do what’s right: reduce, re-use, recycle.
