Creative Recycling
Creative Recycling has been active for 15+ years
Our mission is to Creatively Recycle preloved and waste materials: recycle, reuse, repurpose, repair and restore.
We believe in reducing our consumption, but feel that the producers need to change their behaviour as well as the consumers.
What we want to see is responsible and accountable production and for manufacturers and producers to have ‘Extended Product Responsibility’ in the sense that if something is not compostable or biodegradeable that the producer/manufacturer has to have it back and that there has to be concerted effort to find ‘good’ materials. There needs to be more environmental auditing and possibly penalties or taxes for failure to improve.
