I used to be...

Clever kit that started life very differently

CORN ON THE COB

Fast, lightweight and comfortable, these running shoes are made using seven renewable materials, including corn fibre.

COFFEE GROUNDS

This amazing tee is made from recycled ingredients, including coffee! It’s soft, affordable and, best of all, biodegradable – meaning it will decompose in landfill within three years.

Check out the brand’s Ecotech page for more info.

PLASTIC BOTTLES

It takes 36 plastic bottles to create this cosy hoodie made out of recycled polyester. We like the thumb holes and generous fit.

✣ We love this cute foldable backpack, which is perfect for the gym. Lightweight and waterresistant, each one is made using four plastic bottles.

✣ Another use for plastic bottles – this time for pretty leggings and crop tops. They’re extra stretchy and machine washable.
