Companies turn trash into cash
Include Canada (English) Imperial Tobacco
A year ago across Canada, New Jersey-based TerraCycle Inc. started recycling used cigarette butts into plastic pellets for packaging. It now collects close to a million butts a week.In other cases, medium-size Quebec cities have taken the lead in accepting some things in recycling bins that others yet don’t. In Victoriaville, for example, you can put Styrofoam in the bin, something Montreal doesn’t yet allow (the material is considered too expensive to process).
