FAQ
General Information
How do you identify what product is ‘recycled’?
We understand that not every item listed can be 100% recycled, but what we ask is that artisans utilise as much as what is already available to create their end product.
A recycled product is that which contains the highest amount of post-consumer material practicable, or when post-consumer material is impracticable for a specific type of product, contains substantial amounts of pre-consumer material*

How can you check whether a product listed is legitimately recycled?
It is not always possible to verify the percentage of recycled material component used in each product, however, we will do our best to check all goods which are listed for sale on Recycled Market. We find that the majority of artisans creating sustainable goods, document their wares and creations via social media platforms, such as blogs, facebook and twitter pages. Quite often, we will be able to see images of artisans materials, and products in the making, which confirms their viability using recycled and second-hand materials.
