Ever since
No Waste Month, Charlie and I have been better about simplifying our life. We’ve pruned our belongings throughout the year and given the joyless dead weight to Goodwill. We’ve upcycled useless knickknacks that were always destined for landfill by shipping them off to
TerraCycle. And yet, by the last day of February, we were still sitting in a sea of boxes, drowning under the weight of our “stuff.”
Durch die Zusammenarbeit von Recyclingunternehmen und Kaffeerösterei ist die 100%ige Wiederverwertung erstmals möglich
Kaffeeverpackungen ein zweites Leben geben: Das ist das Ziel der aktuellen Recyclinginitiative von Umweltunternehmen TerraCycle und der Kaffeerösterei Flying Roasters, beide ansässig in Berlin-Wedding. Die Kaffeeverpackungen werden dabei in sogenannten Zero Waste Boxen gesammelt, bevor sie einem Recyclingprozess zugeführt werden. So können sie erstmals zu 100% recycelt und von Müllverbrennungsanlagen ferngehalten werden.
Still, if your favorite pack of gum comes wrapped in foil-paper and you can’t bear to change brands, you may want to consider getting a
zero waste box from TerraCycle for your home or office. Once you’ve saved up a nice stockpile, send it back to TerraCycle, where it will be deconstructed and recycled for you.
