Who knew that when I joined TerraCycle, that I would end up adopting and protecting 16 acres of land. Let me start from the beginning… I first joined TerraCycle in an attempt to recycle my beauty products, this included my makeup and bathroom product bottles. They offer programs that will collect certain kinds of trash and recycle them. They have free recycling programs, large scale recycling programs as well as zero waste boxes, which are not free. There were about 28 free recycling programs when I first joined in 2015 and they now they have about 36 free recycling programs. The programs all have a different point reward system for how much trash you’re able to return to the program. They also offer a variety of contests and promotions for different programs at different times. You can collect points and either receive a cash reward, collect point for a specific school or organization or donate the points to a good cause.  The organizations can provide resources such as clean drinking water, provide a meals, adopt wildlife land, reduce two pounds of carbon from the atmosphere, provide education or even help disaster victims. As for me, I donated my points to adopting 1,800 square feet of wildlife land and I wanted to know more about the program so I visited National Wildlife Federation’s Adopt a Wildlife Acre Program.

此次活动是由泰瑞环保与我们共同合作，发起的一个免费回收任何口腔护理产品包装的活动。活动旨在共同支持并参与由高露洁棕榄(中国)有限公司赞助的口腔护理用品废弃物（含包装）回收循环利用活动，并在此过程中向参与的师生宣传并提高其垃圾分类、循环利用等环保意识，以带动全社会的生态环保进步。 公司承诺，回收回来后，1%-5%的废品会制作成产品重新使用（upcycle），比如牙膏皮做成的购物袋；其余会清洗造粒，再用粒子制作成其他的产品（recycle）。保证100%无填埋和焚烧。

每一个参与泰瑞环保项目的牙具们，都是环保的前线战士。他们从填埋场、焚烧厂被救出，不仅不会再污染空气与土地，还能够被循环利用，从而减少资源的滥用浪费。

泰瑞环保是世界上收集和循环再生一些难以回收的消费后废品的出色领导者。这次，泰瑞环保和高露洁共同合作，发起了一个免费回收任何口腔护理产品包装的活动，并给予它们第二次生命，变废为宝，循环利用。

This summer, Coors Brewing says it is continuing its rich tradition in sustainability by introducing EveryOneCan, a summer-long program that underscores the commitment we all can make to sustainability. Since pioneering the recyclable aluminum can, Coors Brewing, with corporate headquarters in Chicago, says it has been a leader in sustainable brewing practices.

泰瑞环保用循环的方法（再利用，升级回收和回收利用）来再次利用这些牙具。当牙具被收集运到仓库后，牙膏管和牙刷将会根据成分所分开，或被切割融化后制成塑料颗粒，让它们重获生命，在生产过程被塑造为新的产品。

Dive Brief:

• The Hurstville Interpretive Center in Maquoketa, IA, home to the Jackson County conservation department, has been attracting attention for its crayon recycling efforts in recent months, as reported by WQAD.
• Students and residents have become engaged in the program, bringing in an estimated 200 pounds of crayons over the past six weeks. Though the cost of shipping these crayons to a company called Crazy Crayons (about $19 per box) is too high for them to continue. They plan to stop the program in June unless enough donations are received.
• Colorado-based Crazy Crayons recycles the old writing utensils into new products for schools and nonprofits. The company estimates that more than 12 million crayons are manufactured each day, though minimal recycling options are available for them.

Dive Insight: Compared to the many, many tons of other refuse and recyclables that the industry deals with every year, crayons may seem like a minor element.

来自美国的泰瑞环保是一家提供废品回收解决方案的创新型公司，对废品进行重复利用、升级回收或直接回收循环利用，将日常生活中废弃的牙刷、牙膏皮、洗发水瓶等收集起来，使这些废弃物从直线体系转入循环经济体系。

美美的师兄师姐和我们说再见了。你们可以带走我们的思恋，但是！你们不可以带走，那些曾经和朝夕相伴的，牙膏壳！
