A range of products made from recycled plastics<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nLots of products are now made from recycled plastic. One of my suppliers has really tried hard to get with the eco friendly products and packaging and I fully support them. I buy recycled toy filling, sewing thread and a range of ribbon called ‘New Life’ which now are packaged on cardboard reels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also sell pre loved crafting supplies. I have a large range of pre loved card and papercraft, plus embroidery threads and kits that haven’t been used and are just in old packaging. I have some lovely large embroidery frames and some ready made tapestries that need a good home. There’s lots of pre loved ribbons and fabrics that have just been hanging around a few years and need someone to love them. Do ask, there’s a myriad of stuff upstairs that would love to see the light of day! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ditch that single use!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For a long time now, we have stocked a range of reusable and eco friendly versions of make up\/face wipes, sandwich wraps (great for back to school) and metal straws in a handy carry pouch, all made by Melissa. These are great for birthday gifts to post or a treat for yourself! They have been tried and tested by friends and family. At the moment these are all displayed in the window, so do pop in and take a look. <\/p>\n
At the moment, bags, clothing and anything made from recycled fabrics are on hold, but as soon as we can, the ranges of recycled\/upcycled bags and clothing will be back.<\/p>\n
Looking forward to seeing you all soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
I do my best to reuse, recycle and be as eco conscious as possible here at the shop. I am old enough to remember recycling the first time round when pop bottles went back to the shop for a 10p refund! I know recycling isn’t new, but since the invention of plastic the world has […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[197,342,419],"class_list":["post-10980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shop-information","tag-repurpose","tag-reuse","tag-saving-the-planet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10980","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10980"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10980\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10994,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10980\/revisions\/10994"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10980"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10980"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10980"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

When deliveries arrive, packing is given to the charity shop to wrap their china in. Larger cardboard delivery boxes are given to a lady who posts a lot of furniture around the country. This helps me move waste but more importantly, saves having to buy new packaging, which I think is a win win all round. Lots of shop stock comes plastic free; elastic, bindings, trim, lace, threads and things like webbing all come on reels so you don’t have to buy a pre packed amount, just have exactly what you need.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.mrsmcgregors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_20200708_1209071-1-768x1024.jpg\")
