Preserve recycled products

www.recycline.com

These guys use recycled plastic in their products. They have toothbrushes, razors, plasticware in the form of utensils, cups, and plates, and some kitchenware too. They even have a deal with Stonyfield Farm (an organic dairy-product company I love, and it was THEIR idea!) to recycle their production leftovers!

I can't stress the awesomeness of recycled plastic enough. We all know plastic is a very useful ingredient in many products, but recycling it can be a pain in the butt. THAT JUST GOT EASIER. http://www.recycline.com/gimme5.html -- You can now ship #5 plastic directly to them! They want the shipment to be at least five pounds, and shipped by ground. You don't even have to buy their stuff to do this. (A 5-lb package shipped UPS ground would cost roughly $9.30.)

If you do happen to use their products, you can print out a prepaid shipping label to return the products when they're no longer usable. They recycle THAT plastic and use it to make park benches and other things.

But are they any good?

Their utensils are of pretty good quality. There are eight sets of forks, spoons, and knives; they're very sturdy, dishwasher safe, and work well. They come in a cylinder you can use as storage. A cylinder of utensils costs around $6. The folks we had over today thought they were very nice, and really liked the cylinder as well.

My husband says the cut of the razors is about the same as the 'mainstream' brand he was using before. He is impressed with how well each razor is holding up and lasting through him shaving every day. The razor handles come in quite a few colors, which is handy if you have several people using them. The triple-blade razor and 4-pack refills both cost around $7.50 -- that's cheaper than paying for the razors my husband was using before!

I'm really impressed with this company, in how their products look and feel. They're definitely worth buying -- and you can find printable coupons for them as well :)
