After transforming over 1,500 lb of recycled personal care packaging waste into a one-of-a-kind Garnier Green Garden in Harlem and overhauling a garden at a special needs school in the Bronx, Garnier and TerraCycle took their eco efforts on the road with the “Where Should Our Garden Grow?” campaign to award one recipient with a new community garden. After a public voting period, The ReFresh Project of New Orleans has been named the winner.

After transforming over 1,500 lb of recycled personal care packaging waste into a one-of-a-kind Garnier Green Garden in Harlem and overhauling a garden at a special needs school in the Bronx, Garnier and TerraCycle took their eco efforts on the road with the “Where Should Our Garden Grow?” campaign to award one recipient with a new community garden. After a public voting period, The ReFresh Project of New Orleans has been named the winner. The campaign, which kicked off in Earth Month and ran through June 15th, asked fans to vote for which deserving community should win its very own Green Garden. The ReFresh Project’s ReFresh Community Farm is a new teaching farm located in Treme/Mid-City New Orleans. The new garden will be capable of yielding more than 2,000 lb of vegetables, fruit, herbs, and flowers. It will not only provide New Orleans residents with a safe space to connect and enjoy nature, but will also allow community members to grow their own fresh food locally. The ground breaking is expected to take place this fall. The plastic components of the garden, such as raised beds, picnic tables, and trash receptacles are made from recycled beauty-care packaging waste collected through Garnier’s Personal Care and Beauty Brigade®. The Brigade is a free fundraising program that donates money to a charity of the collector’s choice for every piece of beauty and personal care packaging waste returned to TerraCycle for recycling. The collected waste, which would otherwise be destined for landfills, consists of non-recyclable hair care, skin care, and cosmetic packaging. “We are thrilled to announce The Refresh Project in New Orleans as the community where the next Garnier Green Garden will plant seeds and flourish,” says David Greenberg, President of Maybelline New York-Garnier-essie. “Keeping beauty packaging waste out of landfills is only part of the mission. It is equally important to make sure that we help communities across the country create sustainable gardens and playgrounds, and this is a perfect way to use the beauty waste we’ve been able to collect through our Brigade. We are excited to see this project come to life.”

MOUNT LAUREL — The Countryside Elementary School placed second in the Colgate and ShopRite Recycled Playground Challenge, it was announced last week. Schools participating in the challenge earned credits for shipping empty toothpaste tubes, toothbrushes and floss containers to TerraCycle, an upcycling and recycling company that repurposes difficult-to-recycle products. Additional credits could be earned by voting online. The school with the most playground credits, the Beloved Charter School in Jersey City, with 178,309, won a playground made entirely of recycled material, which will be installed during this year's back-to-school season. Countryside, a pre-kindergarten-through-fourth-grade school, earned 169,398 points and will receive 500 upcycled tote bags, 500 upcycled pencil cases, 500 upcycled pens, and a $750 ShopRite gift certificate. The Thomas E. Harrington Middle School, also in the township, participated in the competition and received an honorable mention. It earned 5,817 points and won 250 upcycled pens and a $150 ShopRite gift card. Hawthorne Elementary School in Willingboro placed third with 28,362 points and won 250 upcycled tote bags, 250 upcycled pens and a $500 gift certificate. The challenge was an initiative that sprung from a partnership involving ShopRite, Colgate and TerraCycle. "At TerraCycle, collecting the oral care waste is only half of the story,” said Tom Szaky, company founder and CEO. “The real magic happens when our partners choose to reuse the waste in a way that has a lasting benefit to a community, like Colgate and ShopRite have done with these playgrounds.” Szaky founded the company in 2001 with an organic worm-feces-based fertilizer. The Trenton firm has since expanded to produce recycling bins, fences, book bags, office supplies, home décor and more, all from recycled materials. The competition, which ran from March 19 to June 30, was open to schools in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

NUEVA ORLEANS (AP) — En Nueva Orleans a las colillas se les da un buen uso.

Los primeros de 50 receptáculos para reciclar colillas se instalaron el lunes en una esquina del centro. Los impulsores del programa dicen que Nueva Orleans es la primera ciudad del país en participar en una iniciativa de reciclaje a gran escala de este tipo, lanzada el año pasado en Canadá.

TerraCycle Inc., empresa de Trenton, Nueva Jersey, desarrolló el programa en el 2012. Los primeros receptáculos se colocaron en Vancouver, Columbia Británica, en noviembre del 2013.
