ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Redlands IndigiScapes is getting into specialty recycling

TerraCycle Include Australia waste management environmental sustainability
REDLANDS IndigiScapes is doing its bit to save the planet by going zero-waste with TerraCycle, a recycling group that deals with hard-to-recycle waste. It has installed a TerraCycle media storage waste box, a contraption that recycles media storage equipment like old CDs, memory sticks and cassette tapes that can’t otherwise be dealt with through regular recycling systems. IndigiScapes houses a zero waste box in its resource recovery station, a trolley to be used around the centre during events and off-site as required. The waste box accepts various waste streams from hairnets to mail room supplies. Once the box is full, it is returned to TerraCycle for recycling using the pre-affixed shipping label. TerraCycle general manager Jean Bailliard said it was encouraging to see local schools, businesses and community organisations getting involved. TerraCycle transforms the collected waste into recycled materials or reuses the waste for other purposes like park benches, watering cans and even playgrounds.
