Bread tags are not turned into wheelchairs. The recyclers make a donation to us for the tags and these donations fund the wheelchairs. Our Australian recycler, Transmutation in Robe, SA, has so far made door knobs, coasters, bowls, cheese boards, clocks and pens from bread tags and is continuing to experiment with new products – check their website or Facebook page for updates. In South Africa the tags are recycled into seedling trays.
