• Associated British Ports' facilities in Hull and Goole are trialing a recycling scheme which turns waste into shampoo bottles, in cooperation with TerraCycle and Proctor and Gamble. The shampoo bottles are expected to go on sale at a major UK retailer later this year.

The global World Oceans Day is June 8 (originally celebrated at the urging of Canada in 1992), but every day is a good day to find and cultivate ways to engage communities and make resources for clean ocean actions accessible. My company TerraCycle teamed up with Procter & Gamble, one of the largest consumer goods companies in the world, to create bottles made with recycled beach plastic for Head & Shoulders (the #1 shampoo brand in the world) and Fairy (the UK’s #1 dishwashing brand) in Europe.  

Finally, 2015 nominee Tom Szaky (bottom right), CEO of TerraCycle, has partnered with Procter & Gamble to produce the world’s first recyclable shampoo bottle, made from 25% beach plastic.

Henkel announced a new partnership with the organization Waste Free Oceans to gather plastic waste from waterways and turn it into Lovable laundry brand bottles. The German chemical and consumer goods company aims to have enough for at least 1 million bottles.
