What products are made from recycled materials?
Manufacturers take your recyclables and make them into new products such as shoes, copy paper, post-it notes, index cards, file folders, pencils, newspapers, cereal boxes, paper towels, egg cartons, envelopes, napkins, aluminum cans, glass containers, compost bins, recycling collection containers, plastic lumber, traffic cones, carpeting, fiberfill for sleeping bags, car bumpers, trash bags, and laundry detergent bottles. This is just a short list of recycled products. When you buy a product, look for words that indicate it is made from recycled materials.
