How about recycled syringes?
S,M and L O.O.S.
what is the carbon footprint on using new vs recycle?
I mean, given the efficiency of today's industrial processes, it is very much likely that in order to recycle and reuse crap materials to the quality and standard we see here, will actually require more energy input, labour and transportation etc.
Interesting point. Perhaps even if it requires more energy and work, less wastage balances it out.
I don't know about current efficiency but investing in these recycling processes would be worth it if they're able to refine them over time to become more efficient. When buying a hoodie made of recycled materials you're subsidising this development.
Every time fleece goes through the wash, it releases hundreds of thousands of microplastic particles that end up in waterways..
Probably better off leaving it as a single solid piece in a landfill.This is something I've been wondering about lately since I've been seeing more clothes made from recycled materials lately
Even if there's some environmental benefit of using recycled material, it doesn't negate the issue of microplastics
Looks good but which size fits Roy?
Probably my luck, I'd get the one made from Roundup bottles.
