In a lot of houses, particularly older ones, door draughts are an ongoing issue. Even in a new home, you might have removed a carpet to reveal a wooden floor but there is now a gap between the door and the floor. That gap may seem small, but it lets in a steady stream of cold air into your home. The result? A room that feels cold and a heating system that must work a lot harder to maintain a warm home (and yes, that does mean higher heating bills). Not what you want in the middle of winter!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo stop any draughts, the solution is to fill the gap. And this is exactly what our door draught-proofing cushion does! By sitting at the bottom of a door it is a really simple and cost-effective solution to a draughty door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur door draught excluders are filled with Herdwick wool. Our 80cm x 30cm door draught excluder cushions are not only larger than standard door draught stoppers but are also more robust. The weighted design allows the cushions to stay firmly in place, making them an efficient draught excluder. And they look great!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvesting in a Chimney Sheep door draught excluder has been compared to sand-bagging your door against the cold – and we think that this is the perfect way to describe it!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is this door draught excluder made of?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer of our door draught excluders are made of hessian jute coffee sacks which we source from a local, Cumbrian coffee roasters \u003ca title=\"Carvettii Coffee website\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carvetiicoffee.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eCarvetii Coffee\u003c\/a\u003e (their coffee is great by the way – definitely worth checking it out!). These sacks vary according to the type of coffee and where it has been shipped from, so each draught excluder is unique which we think is pretty cool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filling for our door cushions is Herdwick wool which we collect from local farms for our Chimney Sheep chimney draught excluders. We always end up with more wool than we need so it's perfect to use for filling these door draught excluders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat are the benefits of using wool in this door draught excluder?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe use wool as the filling to our door draught excluders. Wool is a natural product. Sheep spend their lives grazing and growing wool. This is clipped in the summer when it’s hot for their welfare. Then it all grows back in time to keep them warm in the winter as it is a natural insulator. This makes it the perfect material to keep our homes warm!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt also has remarkable properties that enable it to absorb high volatile compounds (VOC’s) such as formaldehyde. Studies have shown that VOC’s bind permanently to the wool fibre, so they absorb it and never release it. Wool has been used to clean up environments where there are high levels of VOC’s. Having wool around your home will make it a cleaner, healthier and better environment to live in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat other ways can I draught-proof my home?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDraught-proofing your home will make your home more energy-efficient which will reduce your gas bills (or electricity bills depending on your heating system!) and make your home a little bit greener.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have an open chimney, we always suggest starting there! An open chimney is often the biggest source of heat loss, actively sucking warm air out of your home. To stop this, you’ll need to use a chimney blocker of some sort which will stop that lovely warm air from escaping.

It is sat in a landfill site, being completely useless and could potentially be harmful to wildlife and their habitats (think about aluminium cans and how sharp they are once they’ve been opened). By recycling it you are ensuring the aluminium is being put to good use again! It’s a bit like having an old pair of jeans in your wardrobe. You might not wear them anymore but someone else might, so you take then to a charity shop or sell them on. It’s the same sort of concept – why throw away a perfectly functioning material like aluminium if it can be repurposed and made into something useful for someone else?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTo conserve aluminium resources\u003c\/strong\u003e – aluminium comes from the earth’s crust in many parts of the world as the mineral bauxite. It is a resource that requires mining and, like many of the earth’s natural resources, we are using them faster than they are being created. There is only a finite amount of aluminium, so we need to ensure that we conserve as much as possible and treat it like the precious resource it is. Recycling helps us do this as we are reusing the aluminium that has already been mined without taking any more from the earth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTo reduce the amount of energy used producing items from virgin aluminium foil\u003c\/strong\u003e – it takes one litre of fuel to make three rolls of virgin aluminium foil. That same litre of fuel can make 60 (yes 6-0) rolls of If You Care aluminium foil. That is an incredible improvement in energy efficiency. Not only that but recycling 1kg of aluminium can save up to 8kg of bauxite, 4kg in chemical products and 14,000 watts of electricity.

This is also 100% recyclable tableware so once they do come to the end of their long life, (because we aren’t going to lie to you, it will eventually happen after a few thousand uses), you can put them into your recycling bin as you would your other household plastic.

Although the weather isn’t often kind to us, when it is sunny we love to ensure we can get out in our gardens to enjoy the UV rays and make sure we get our hit of vitamin D! When it has been sunny in the past, and we’ve enjoyed some al fresco dining, we have come to realise that there aren’t any recycled plastic options to use as outdoor tableware (and no one likes to use their ‘posh’ ceramic stuff for fear smashing them).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, most outdoor garden tableware options are disposable tableware (you know, the clear plastic plate sort of options that you chuck after one use?), melamine outdoor dinnerware (which is an artificial compound made under intense heat and is not recyclable nor particularly eco-friendly), or plastic plates and plastic dinner sets made from virgin plastics (and we all know that isn’t great for the environment). Frustrating, particularly with all the single-use plastic from disposable plates in circulation - you'd have thought they might be being recycled to be remade back into plates. But no. So, we thought, ‘ah-ha!’, let’s fix that! Let’s make outdoor dining tableware and drinkware that is reusable and made from 100% recycled plastic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat seemed like a simple solution to the problem, turned out not to be so simple to create! To create these, we needed recycled food-grade plastic. A lot of food packaging gets recycled, so we thought that should be easy enough to source. Right? Wrong! Turns out, it is very difficult to get which seems nonsensical considering how much food-grade plastic we all recycle nowadays. The issue is that most food-grade plastic doesn’t get separated out. Anyway, long story short, after researching and contacting lots of suppliers we EVENTUALLY got our hands on recycled food-grade plastic and here we are today, with our fantastic reusable outdoor dinnerware!  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is it important to use recycled plastic?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we are probably all aware, plastics take an awful lot of energy to create, aren’t easy to dispose of and are generally not so great for the environment. Plastic isn’t all bad though. It is a useful material in lots of contexts – it’s hardy, long-lasting and lightweight. That’s what makes it so great for our premium plastic heavyweight bowls. The issue comes when we continue to use virgin, disposable plastics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of us now dutifully recycle most of our plastic waste.

And we mean A LOT! There is actually no reason to mine new aluminium to make foil because we already have lots in use that can be recycled, reformed and reused! By using aluminium from a 100% recycled source creates much less energy waste. In fact, the manufacturing of this foil uses only 5% of the energy required for making regular aluminium foil.

It is sat in a landfill site, being completely useless and could potentially be harmful to wildlife and their habitats (think about aluminium cans and how sharp they are once they’ve been opened). By recycling it you are ensuring the aluminium is being put to good use again! It’s a bit like having an old pair of jeans in your wardrobe. You might not wear them anymore but someone else might, so you take them to a charity shop or sell them on.

It is a resource that requires mining and, like many of the earth’s natural resources, we are using them faster than they are being created. There is only a finite amount of aluminium, so we need to ensure that we conserve as much as possible and treat it like the precious resource it is. Recycling helps us do this as we are reusing the aluminium that has already been mined without taking any more from the earth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u0026gt;\u003cstrong\u003eTo reduce the amount of energy used producing items from virgin aluminium foil\u003c\/strong\u003e – it takes one litre of fuel to make three rolls of virgin aluminium foil. That same litre of fuel can make 60 (yes 6-0) rolls of If You Care aluminium foil. That is an incredible improvement in energy efficiency.

It’s a composter made of recycled plastic. It’s ridiculously heavy. It weighs around 56 kilos. You will have seen these made of wood, right? They slot together and within minutes you’ve got a slatted composter. And within a couple of years it’s started biodegrading itself, and becoming one with the compost. I should know, I had one, and it was great for a while.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo what’s so great about this recycled plastic wood composter? Well. I’m glad you asked. It’s made of mixed household waste plastic. The trouble with recycling plastic is that there are so many different types. Some recycled plastic products, like our \u003ca title=\"Ecoforce Peg Basket and Pegs\" href=\"https:\/\/chimney-sheep.myshopify.com\/products\/ecoforce-peg-basket-and-pegs\"\u003eEcoforce clothes pegs\u003c\/a\u003e, are made by extracting particular types of plastic from co-mingled waste. This is quite labour intensive and means only certain types of plastics can be used. This recycled plastic wood composter uses a whole range of different plastics mixed together to create an entirely new type of plastic called plastic lumber. The reason it’s so heavy is that it’s quite dense. And that’s what is so exciting about it, for us here at Chimney Sheep anyway: 56 kilos of household waste plastic in a beautifully made recycled plastic wood composter is 56 kilos of plastic waste not in landfill or bobbing about in the ocean! That’s like around 2800 empty 500ml bottles all incapsulated into one useful product. Or 5600 empty yoghurt pots. Or as it’s comingled waste, any combination of thousands of yoghurt pots, plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic food trays, and all manner of other rubbish all usefully recycled. Now can you see why we’re so happy?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA composter is the perfect application for plastic lumber. It is extremely durable: it doesn’t rot or biodegrade.

This recycled plastic wood composter is predominantly for garden waste only. The materials rot down with a combination of bacteria and worms. If you want to put food waste in the mix then it's recommended to use a closed system like the Green Johanna. If you put food waste into an open slatted composter then you are likely to attract vermin. The Green Johanna is great since you can put all kinds of food waste in it, mixed with garden waste and shredded paper and such. There are small holes in the base so useful creatures like worms and insects can get in, but the rats can't.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe great thing about the recycled plastic wood composter and the Green Joanna is that with the worms to help you can just keep adding stuff until the mix is about right.

Mulch (in most cases, but particularly in the case of our Mulch Mats) allows water to permeate through it into the soil below. However, the barrier the mulch forms between soil and the air reduces the amount of water that evaporates off the soil’s surface.

Mulch (in most cases, but particularly in the case of our Mulch Mats) allows water to permeate through it into the soil below. However, the barrier the mulch forms between soil and the air reduces the amount of water that evaporates off the soil’s surface. Studies of mulch in draught-prone countries have demonstrated how the water-saving properties of mulch improve crop growth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNaturally suppresses weeds\u003c\/strong\u003e– using mulch to cover soil and compost where plants or crops are growing creates a natural barrier against weeds. The weeds don’t have access to light, can’t photosynthesise, and therefore perish and eventually rot away into the ground.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces competition for water and nutrients\u003c\/strong\u003e – by reducing the number of weeds it ensures that there is less competition for plants. This means they can access more water and nutrients, helping them to grow more effectively! When looking at this in an agricultural context, using mulch reduces the large-scale use of herbicides which is beneficial both to the wider environment and us.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReduces temperature fluctuations\u003c\/strong\u003e – Mulch protects plant roots against temperature changes by acting as an insulator. They help to regulate soil temperature to keep plant roots cool in the summer and warm in the winter ensuring plants can continue to grow well. Our Mulch Mats are particularly good at this because of their density.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy are Chimney Sheep’s Jute Mulch Mats a great mulch option?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo faffing required\u003c\/strong\u003e – we love our Mulch Mats because they are quick and easy to use. There is no shovelling, cutting to size or pinning down required. Just slot them around the base of the plant you want to protect and hey presto!

It reduces the volume of plastic waste that goes into landfill, reduces the amount of plastic that gets blown into the ocean en route to landfill sites, reduces plastic pollution, it conserves resources and reduces the amount of energy used producing items from virgin plastic (to name a few reasons!).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut once we recycle plastic, what do we do? Well, think about it. If we dutifully recycle our plastic but continue to use virgin plastics, then what’s the point of recycling it in the first place? If we don’t buy products made of recycled plastic the plastic we continue to recycle will soon pile up into more unwanted waste or get burned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo instead, we should try and buy products made with recycled plastic to make all our dutiful recycling worth it!

Compost can then be used as a natural fertiliser to nourish your garden. It’s an environmentally-friendly way to recycle food waste and create a valuable resource for gardening!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHouseholds often use a kitchen food waste caddy or a compost caddy with a locking lid to store food waste during meal preparation. Once the compost caddy bin is full, you can simply empty it into your compost bin in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy is composting food waste important?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUK households produce \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Recycle Now - Food Waste Recycling\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclenow.com\/how-to-recycle\/food-waste-recycling\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e4.5 million tonnes\u003c\/a\u003e of food waste every year - that’s \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Food Waste Facts and Statistics\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theecoexperts.co.uk\/home-hub\/food-waste-facts-and-statistics\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ealmost 2kg\u003c\/a\u003e of food thrown away each day!

Composting this food waste at home diverts from landfills and allows nutrients to be returned back to the soil instead. The enriched soil helps your plants, vegetables and flowers grow in your garden or allotment and reduces the need for fertilisers. It's a win-win!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat can you compost?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people are aware that you can add typical garden waste to your \u003ca title=\"Chimney Sheep Garden Composter\" href=\"https:\/\/chimneysheep.co.uk\/products\/hahn-plastic-wood-composter\"\u003egarden composter\u003c\/a\u003e, such as grass cuttings, hedge trimmings, weeds, faded flowers, and prunings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut so much of what we throw away in the kitchen as general rubbish can actually be composted instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLots of types of \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Recycle Now - What can be put in food waste collections\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recyclenow.com\/recycle-an-item\/food-waste\" target=\"_blank\"\u003euncooked kitchen waste\u003c\/a\u003e can be put in your compost caddy, including fruits and vegetables along with their peelings, baked goods like bread and cakes, eggshells, tea bags and coffee grounds.

But be careful about adding cooked food waste like meat, fish, dairy products and leftover cooked food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegular composting uses a cold composting technique that slowly breaks down organic materials over the course of several months, but it’s important to note that this method won’t kill pathogens or bacteria. That means this isn’t suitable for pet waste, compostable nappies or diseased plants and weed roots because the harmful bacteria or pathogens won’t be completely destroyed. You’ll need to hot compost these to kill the harmful bacteria in that waste instead - take a look at the \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"How to make compost in 18 days using The Berkeley Composting Method\" href=\"https:\/\/deepgreenpermaculture.com\/2010\/05\/08\/hot-compost-composting-in-18-days\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBerkeley Hot Composting Method\u003c\/a\u003e to learn more about that approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat foods can’t you put in the compost\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile pretty much any of your kitchen waste can naturally decompose, it's recommended that you avoid adding certain food items and cooked leftovers to your compost piles. This includes things like fish, meat and bones, and dairy products like cheese, yoghurt and spoiled milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy, you ask? The main reason is because these animal products get really smelly when decomposing, which can attract unwanted pests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOther food waste recycling techniques\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, there are other methods that allow you to recycle all your cooked and uncooked food waste. One of the simplest ways are food waste digesters like the Green Johanna or Hotbin that use a hot composting method, but they each require different proportions of food waste and garden waste to work properly so you’ll need to do your own research. Another technique is a Bokashi system which ferments your food waste so you can add it to your ordinary compost heap. These are great ways to recycle all your food waste, including all your uneaten takeaway food and plate scrapings - as well as that rather questionable leftover lasagne that’s been lurking at the back of your fridge since last week!

Keeping a compost caddy in your kitchen works as a reminder to recycle scraps instead of binning them when cooking, baking or preparing meals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJust scrape food scraps into this spacious container, and when it’s full, toss it into your garden compost bin. It's a convenient way to store days' worth of food waste at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo maintain cleanliness, consider lining the caddy with newspaper or compostable caddy liners.

We rely on imports from overseas, but there’s plenty of space for us to grow our own timber.

Our Recycled Bottle Plastic Yarn is a craft cupboard must-have: punchy, planet-friendly, and perfect for all kinds of creative projects. It's made from 100% recycled plastic bottles that have been cleaned, melted and re-spun into soft, strong, surprisingly squishable yarn. Yes, really - plastic bottles! And yet it feels gloriously tactile, handles like a dream, and works up with a beautifully consistent finish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're crocheting colourful storage baskets, knitting up beach bags, weaving wall hangings, making chunky rugs, or whipping up something utterly unique, this yarn holds its shape like a champion. The strands have a gentle sheen and a satisfying structure that makes them ideal for sculptural, stand-out designs. It's particularly fabulous for bold homeware projects - anything that needs a bit of strength and definition without losing that satisfying soft-touch feel. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not your average yarn. It's bright, bouncy, and made entirely from post-consumer waste that might otherwise have ended up in landfill or the ocean. So not only are you crafting something beautiful - you're actively helping the planet too. It's also plastic-free in its packaging, of course: no plastic sellotape, no nonsense, just recyclable materials and compostable labels that you can feel good about. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe love it for its versatility, but even more for its attitude. It's unapologetically bold and brilliantly useful - a yarn with purpose and a personality. Add a splash of sustainable fun to your next project and see what recycled plastic can really do. Whether you're a die-hard crocheter, a curious beginner, or a fibre artist looking to branch out, this is the kind of yarn that makes your fingers itch to get started. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCut from the Same Cloth\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jollygoodyarn.com\/\" title=\"Jolly Good Yarn\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eJolly Good Yarn\u003c\/a\u003e is now part of the Chimney Sheep flock, and it all just makes sense.

You diligently sort your recycling every week. The plastic goes in the right bin. Off it goes. And then... what? If nobody actually buys products made from recycled plastic, the loop never closes. The plastic gets shipped abroad, buried, or burned. All that sorting, for nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese plant pots are our small contribution to making the loop actually close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey're made from 100% recycled plastic — the kind of plastic that's already had a life as something else and deserves another go. They come in a pack of 2, in sizes from 2 litres right up to 20 litres, so whether you're potting on a tiny seedling or giving a tomato plant some serious root room, there's a size that works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy recycled plastic for plant pots?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlastic, used well, is actually a pretty good material for pots. It's lightweight, it doesn't dry out as fast as terracotta, and it lasts for years. The problem has always been what happens at the end of its life. These pots are made to be used for a long time — and when they eventually reach the end of the road, they can go back into the recycling stream again. That's the circular economy in action: materials staying in use, not ending up in landfill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've been banging on about closing the loop for a while now — \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/closing-the-loop-why-we-sell-products-made-of-recycled-materials\"\u003eread more about why we stock recycled products and what closing the loop actually means\u003c\/a\u003e. It's one of the reasons we stock recycled plastic products at all — because unless there's demand for goods made from recycled materials, there's no incentive for manufacturers to use them, and no incentive for councils to actually recycle rather than incinerate.
