capri-sun school TerraCycle Include USA Circuit
The average school lunch generates 67 pounds of waste during one school
year (EPA.gov).
That total is just for one child. Can you image the huge amounts of waste for every school child in the country? TerraCycle <http://www.terracycle.net/> is a company that is working to upcycle some of that school lunch waste along with other products that we normally toss in the trash can, without giving them a second thought.
Here is how Terracycle works: Your school or group collects items like Capri Sun pouches, candy wrappers, and chip bags. There is actually 27 different collection brigades <http://www.terracycle.net/brigades?show_all=true> ! You send the "trash" that you school or group has collected to Terracycle. Terracycle upcycles the trash into tote bags <http://www.terracycle.net/products/18-Drink-Pouch-Tote> , lunch boxes <http://www.terracycle.net/products/22-Round-Drink-Pouch-Lunchbox> , and clip boards <http://www.terracycle.net/products/78-Circuit-Board-Clipboard-> , just to name a few items!
