About
Recycle2shop is all about saving our earth by decreasing landfill - ‘Trash 2 Treasure’.
We will bring you fascinating facts and fascinating products. We are building a ‘library’ of recycling information - available for research, schools and anyone with an interest in reducing waste.
We will link to sites that encourage and promote recycling and sites that sell products made from recyclates in an eco friendly world.
Everything we sell and promote is made from recycled materials. Recycle2shop is a market place for all eco designers, craftspeople, artisans and small businesses who are trying to make a difference - aka eco commerce with a conscience.
Recycle2shop landed on the web in 2004, at that time we were in England (Colchester, on the east coast). We are now based in Victoria, British Columbia on the west coast of Canada, sheltered by the Olympic mountains (on the US side) and the Straights of Georgia and Juan de Fuca from the Pacific Ocean. Yes, it is quite beautiful, but as in any ‘big’ city, we have our eco problems: our sewage is pumped directly into the sea and has been a constant battleground for all eco warriors.
We don’t have a store front/shop; Leona sells our beautiful products in various markets in Victoria…Government street market every Sunday from 10 am until 430 pm from April until the end of September, and at various Xmas markets (my blog on ‘home’ page will keep you up to date with local times and places).
