Eco Bunting
Recycled Material Bunting

Green Policies
With such huge amounts of materials being discarded in the UK every year, Sue Hill of Derry’s Den, decided it was time to do something to reuse some of it. “I’d noticed that most of the party bunting was made from new materials including plastics and the thought of adding more synthetics to the environment just doesn’t appeal, so I thought it would be great to use up unwanted materials such as textiles, commercial waste, old greetings cards and used plastic bags”
“I’ve been lucky enough to have travelled all over the world in the past and many communities that I’ve visited reuse materials out of necessity. In contrast, through lives of comparative luxury, Westerners have created a problem with waste. I’ve always been into rejuvenating items rather than throwing them into the rubbish bin. Chopping up old clothing to create some other useful item is in my genes. I vividly remember grandmother doing it.”
Other products made from unwanted materials include a range of UK made eco-friendly bags. Look at www.derrysden.co.uk to see more about our eco-friendly products.
