Tell us more about these recycled plastic cutlery sets
Our recycled plastic cutlery sets are perfect to use when you’re at the beach for the day, out camping, out for a picnic, or just in the garden! We’ve used them ourselves after a hike in the Lake District, and we couldn’t have been happier with them! They even come in a range of four eye-catching colours to choose from.
These cool cutlery sets are made from 100% recycled, polypropylene (PP) plastic and are BPA free so you can guarantee that they’re safe to use over, and over again. To make them even better, they’re dishwasher friendly! So, after a good day of adventuring, or hosting a BBQ (if you get lucky with the weather!), you can just chuck them in the dishwasher and chill out for the evening.
Have you got matching items?
Yes! We have created the ‘Go Outside’ range, to encourage adults and children to get outside more. In this range, we have two sets of recycled plastic tableware products, the Adventure Set and the Al Fresco Set. Both sets are made from 100% recycled food-grade plastic and are BPA free. Like the cutlery sets, both the Adventure Set and Al Fresco set are durable, lightweight, reusable, made from recycled plastic and environmentally friendly. You can mix and match between the sets or pick your favourite!
Can they be used as garden tableware?
Absolutely. They’re lightweight and won’t chip or break as easily as other plastic cutlery, so you can pack them with you if you’re going out adventuring up a fell, round a lake, or maybe a picnic at the beach. Or use them at home if you have friends over, or as a bright splash of colour for the kids. They’re practical for everyday use and even dishwasher safe so you don’t have to scrub them when you’ve finished.
Why have you created recycled plastic cutlery?
Chimney Sheep HQ is based right on the edge of the Lake District, meaning we get to enjoy the beautiful outdoors much more than others. All the time spent outside made us realise one thing though – there really weren’t many eco-friendly, reusable plastic tableware options that would fit nicely inside our backpacks.
What we did find, were plenty of options for single-use plastic tableware, disposable paper plates or melamine picnicware sets (melamine is made under intense heat pressure and isn’t recyclable and is not particularly eco-friendly). So, we thought, let’s fix that! Let’s make reusable, lightweight cutlery made from 100% recycled plastic.
What 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 non-sensical 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, recycled plastic cutlery!
Why is it important to use recycled plastic?
As 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 reusable plastic tableware. The issue comes when we continue to use virgin, disposable plastics.
Most of us now dutifully recycle most of our plastic waste. If we continue to recycle but then also continue to use virgin plastics, what is the point of recycling in the first place? Instead, it is important that we ‘close the loop’ and start using recycled plastics to make new things. As we said, plastic is a great material to use in lots of circumstances so if we have lots of plastic being recycled, then let’s use that stuff (and recycle and reuse again and again and again etc) for the items that plastic is great for, instead of continuing to create new virgin plastics. Common sense if you ask us!

At the core of Chimney Sheep is our Community Interest Company, Buy Land Plant Trees (BLPT). For every purchase you make with us, 20% of the profit facilitates the planting of trees on agriculturally poor land in Cumbria.
We set up BLPT in 2019 as a ‘boots on the ground’ tree planting initiative. The company is run by us and the tree planting is done by us. We do it to help you and us to reduce our impact on the planet. The trees we plant reduce CO2 output as well as contribute to the reduction of flooding and the creation of habitats for wildlife.
BLPT isn’t a tick box exercise nor a distant and detached carbon offset company. In fact, this is as much part of our business as the products we sell and is an integral part of our ethos. We are big believers in the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ and want to make a genuine difference
A Chimney Sheep® draught excluder is a brilliant tool for any property with an open chimney. But don’t just take our word for it...

Eco Friendly Weed Control
I bought this as I wanted a non-plastic weed suppressant to use under stones and bark and this is ideal as it can be bought by the metre rather than having to buy far more than I need (though it does make it more expensive per metre). It is easy to use and I'm really pleased that it is a natural material with no plastic. I'm wondering how long it will last before it needs replacing, but for now, I'm really pleased with my purchase.
I ordered two of the 10kg...in error! There's a massive amount of wool in each bag and, to my mind, it's quite clean. It's very thick and has a high amount of lanolin in it, a good sign.
I placed it around my runner beans and French climbing beans. The wool provides support when it's windy. Round the tomatoes, the courgettes and...the potatoes. They thrive on it.
Important: the will deters slugs etc, but my advice is that it's essential to keep the wool moist. Not sodden, as the wool is superb at preventing the soil drying out.
Well worth it.
Delivery box was a bit battered on arrival so feared for the pots, but the sheep's wool had kept them safe. Brilliant non plastic option to keep seedlings watered without wasting water and the wool works to keep slugs at bay.
Bought these as the fluffy inside lining of my slippers had worn down to the rubber! I hate waste and didn’t want to throw them away as they were in otherwise good condition, so I bought these and popped them in and now I have warm and comfy insides to my slippers again - Hurrah!! Slipper life extended and waste reduced. Very glad to have found this company 😊.
We have an open fire that is only used a few times a year but don't want to decommission it.
When not in use there is a noticeable draft that comes down the chimney this includes the smell from our neighbours log burner when the wind blows the wrong way.
Enter stage left the Chimney Sheep. I measured up the chimney aperture and placed my order. Despite Royal Mails best efforts it arrived well packed and in good order.
It's a neat product and having attached the handle shoved it up the chimney. Perfect fit. Can't be that easy surely? Yep.
There is a fob that attaches to the handle that dangles down from the chimney so that you are reminded that the Chimney Sheep is in situ before lighting a fire.
I can't comment on the draught excluding properties yet as the weather has been glorious since I got it, but I see no reason it won't be effective. I no longer have to listen to the pigeons serenading each other though.
My first purchase of three ply…I will buy more….this is good stuff….does the job….soft enough…AND made in uk from uk waste paper…this is important if you are thinking green….no point buying recycled paper which has been round the world and back. We have loads of waste paper to use in the uk and loads of uk bottoms to wipe 😂
Amazing felt, thick and really good quality. Worked amazing by for my art project. I love both the colour and the texture! Excellent delivery and costumer service.
