De acordo com o TerraCycle, a campanha é voltada, principalmente, para escolas e empresas. Mas nada impede que uma pessoa decida implantar isso no condomínio residencial onde viva.

Cigarette butts are one of the most common kinds of litter, found everywhere from land to waterways. The tobacco and paper in them will break down, so those can be composted. But the filters contain a plastic, and that can take years to decompose.

AN Australian first recycling program is now in the Shoalhaven. Nowra’s Ewing Electrical has teamed up with innovative recycling company TerraCycle to launch a scheme to recycle usually non-recyclable items. People can now recycle things like toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, cigarette butts and Nescafe Dolce Gusto capsules. Ewing Electrical has registered as one of Australia’s first public collection points for typically “unrecyclable” waste. Lisa Pearson from Ewing Electrical, who will administer the volunteer collection point, said the company wanted to support a program that would help stop more rubbish going into landfills. “We are excited to house a collection box at our shop to give the Shoalhaven community a drop-off location to recycle their used items,” she said. “This empowers us by allowing us to decide where our waste and packaging ends up.” Not only will people be helping the environment, they will also support the Shoalhaven Junior Baseball Club, the Mariners. “Two points are earned for each piece of waste that we send in for recycling,” Mrs Pearson said. “All the money raised will be donated to Shoalhaven Junior Baseball Club and so we encourage people to join us in this community recycling drive and drop off these items and tell all their friends and family to do the same.” Locals are now encouraged to drop these selected used items to the public access collection box at the building entrance of Ewing Electrical, 97 Plunkett Street Nowra from 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday. Items that can be recycled are: * any brand of toothbrushes, toothpaste tubes, outer cardboard packaging and floss containers - excludes electric toothbrush components * any brand of hand and body wash pumps, triggers, nozzles beauty product pumps, tubes and face wipes and Nescafé Dolce Gusto tea and coffee capsules. Only a specific type of capsule is part of this collection and cannot be contaminated with other types of capsules.

We are discovering how many organizations are creating innovative ways to recycle some of those pesky pieces of litter that have become such a nuisance on our highways, sidewalks and landfills. When we saw what Foxwoods Resort Casino began doing with their collection of cigarette butts, we had to spread the word.

Un Français consomme chaque année, en moyenne, 8,6 kg de biscuits et pâtisseries industrielles. Un million de tonnes d’emballages est ainsi mis sur le marché. Problème en fin de vie : alors que les composants en papier et carton peuvent être recyclés grâce à une filière bien structurée, tant que les consignes de tri des plastiques ne sont pas généralisées, il n’existe pas de solution pour les sachets, films et barquettes, qui finissent donc dans les incinérateurs ou les centres d’enfouissement.

Survey data indicates that, compared to older generations, younger generations are more supportive of environmental legislation and the notion that global climate change is the result of human activity, yet are simultaneously less likely to recycle or recognize the benefits of recycling.
