TerraCycle: Beauty Brigade on the Move

Most waste management companies today prefer more cost-effective disposal options, like incineration and landfilling, to recycling.

Today, TerraCycle is a highly awarded, international upcycling and recycling company that collects difficult-to-recycle packaging and products and repurposes the material into affordable, innovative products.

Inzamelingsactie van oude pennen voor nieuw schoolplein

De openbare school 't Joppe uit Nieuw-Vennep is als groene school een inzamelingsactie van gebruikte pennen begonnen . Bij deze school verdwijnen pennen niet in de prullenbak, maar belanden na gebruik in één van de drie speciale recyclingbakken voor schrijfwaren. De school heeft zich daarbij aangesloten bij de BIC Schrijfwaren Brigade, hetgeen een speciaal recycling programma is van pennenfabrikant BIC en recyclingsbedrijf TerraCycle. Voor elke pen die men opstuurt ontvangt de school een financiële bijdrage waarmee nu gespaard wordt voor een nieuw schoolplein.
