We wouldn’t be able to have a 100% recycled plastic bottle if people didn’t recycle stuff in the first place. So you could say that we’re big fans of recycling.

Nearly all our packaging can be recycled but unfortunately not all councils recycle everything. You can find out if yours does by using this website. To find your nearest recycling bank go to this website and enter your postcode, or text 'waste' and your postcode to 60060.

To get you started, here is a quick guide to recycling our products.

• Cut the carton in half, fill it with soil and compost, and use it to grow herbs or flowers
• Wash it out, put some rice inside, put the cap back on, and you have an instant maraca. Shake it baby.
• Make handbags and things.

• Put over young plants to help them grow and protect them from slugs.
• Use as a vase for all those single roses you keep getting.
• Make it into an overnight travel caddy for make up kit, or a toothbrush.
• Protect things like grapes from getting squashed in your lunch box.

• Attach some string to the end of two pots for a brand new telephone.
• Grow a mini-herb garden.
• Use as a floating snack container for the bath.
