Buy Recycled Products

Why not upgrade your recycling efforts by purchasing items made from recycled products. Recycling certain types of material, like aluminum, glass, steel and plastic takes less energy than producing it new therefore items from these products used less energy to produce!

Celadon Road offers quite a few of these products. Here are some examples of what you can purchase:
