Full of ideas, but expensive: when you know that the price of the raw material of a recycled tire is negative! (you have to pay 2 to 4 euros / piece to get rid of it)

Not bad the laundry bag in fruit juice pack ! But it's true that it's a bit expensive

[Christophe]

These kinds of products are also available in oxfam stores ...

Ah the prices ...

"We" often tend to inflate prices when it's green or good for the planet ... (there are real green scams ...)

Except that those who think so we forgot to think that every euro worked / earned / spent has its weight in pollution ...

The best is to combine good for the planet and low price, it's called the eco-store https://www.econologie.com/shop/

and yes .... the prices ... but we must make these objects .... right?
Regarding the fruit juice packs, you must first recover them, then clean them, cut them, assemble them, sew them to finally get an object ... whatever it is. Ditto for objects made from recycled tires. It's a job and it takes time to do ... The recycled tarpaulin objects are cheaper because they require less work and time .. so yes ... the prices ... sure if it was just industrially printed plastic would be cheaper ... but it is not ...

Not at all, but we know the industrial prices, margins and all that: some products are unmarketable pcq too expensive.

So, when we know that the purchase prices of materials are negative prices ....

In your shop, prices are reasonable (although .... the solar panel flexible 7W 115 euros, it's still 16,5 € / Wc not installed )

in addition ... I do not think that it is the same who collect the tires against hard currency ... and those who manufacture objects out of recycled tire in an artisanal way ...
As for green scams .... in my humble opinion ... this mainly concerns manufacturers who surf the green wave with great interest .... toddlers like recycl & co and craftsmen who make objects from recycling cannot afford to spend a fortune on communication just to ride the green wave .... right?
