Is the UK really setup for recycled????

So here at the tiny offices we find ourselves (surprisingly!!) as the only UK packaging company that only sells recycled stuff... How the hell can that be? Don't get me wrong, it is great for us! I mean who else can boast that? But it is a sad state of affairs. I (Christian) get requests from potential customers every day to have recycled boxes made bespoke... Seems simple enough, but we can't (sometimes!) get UK manufacturers to produce these RECYCLED... With all the talk from everyone of 'recycled this and that' and everyone seeming to want it, the infrastructure just isn't there! We had a very big UK box manufacturer actually lie to us for 3 months telling us their products were recycled. After a bit of detective work, we found out the truth... Everyone seems to be trying to jump on the 'bandwagon' but without doing anything about it... even lying which if we actually believed this Midlands manufacturer our reputation would have been shot to pieces. The Tiny Box Company is proud of our detective work in making sure our stock is recycled... we even had to post this important notice on our website because we care about us and being honest. Is this too much to ask?
