Green credentials: Despite our best efforts to re-use and recycle, most of us still have a kitchen drawer full of old carrier bags. This clever little invention - made entirely from 100% recycled plastic - allows you to turn your old shoppers into an instant bin. It's also great for storing your recycling: line up a few of them to store glass, plastic, tins and paper.
