ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

TerraCycle, Staples Expand Zero-Waste Recycling Program

TerraCycle Include USA Staples
Recycling company TerraCycle and Staples are expanding their zero-waste recycling option for household and office waste to the US. The recycling program launched in Canada in 2014. The program allows customers to recycle a range of items, including candy and snack wrappers, cleaning supplies and accessories, writing utensils, e-waste and mailing, shipping and packaging supplies, through TerraCycle’s Zero Waste Boxes, sold on Staples.com. The program works like this: offices or households fill a box, then mail it to TerraCycle with the prepaid shipping label. The purchase price of the box ($82.99) includes shipping back to TerraCycle and the processing of the waste. TerraCycle will turn the waste into a plastic that can be recycled into benches, bicycle racks, watering cans and other items.
