Recycled Scrabble felt cushions from Ecocentric

Recyled cushions

Share a message

These fun felt cushions will appeal to many a Scrabble fan.

They’re not only rather quirky, but they’re also made from 100% recycled plastic bottles that have been formed into a wonderfully soft felt. The inner cushion is also made out of a 100% recycled fibre filling (95% made from more of those plastic bottles) and an organic cotton outer.

The U & ME cushions would be very apt for Valentine’s Day, but if there are other letters that would have more meaning for you, then they can be ordered in your own choice of lettering or colour.

If you’re keen on the idea of saving plastic bottles from going to landfill, then buying just one of these cushions will save 10 bottles!

The cushions are available to purchase individually, or in sets, and you can find them for sale at EcoCentric.

Recycled chopping board

Recycled cardboad chopping board

Recycled cardboad chopping board

This black chopping board looks stylish and looks like it could be slate, but amazingly it’s made from 100% recycled cardboard.

Yes, cardboard - we couldn’t believe it either. We first spotted it featured on Nest Goodies and were so intrigued that we had to check it out for ourselves.

The recycled cardboard has been compressed to make the chopping board and the end result is heat resistant, stain resistant and colour resistant. The non-porous material won’t mean that bacteria can be harboured in the board (one of the issues that often concerns me about some chopping boards) and they say it won’t blunt your knife either.

As far as recycling goes, this is a great use for old cardboard and a very practical eco product to own. Once you’ve finished with it, it can be recycled again.

The chopping board is available in three sizes, with prices starting at £9.95, and you can buy it from EcoCentric.
