Tucson isn’t able to recycle the Capri Suns that Tri Delta will be using as beverages; however, TerraCycle.net will pay for the shipping of the Capri Suns so they can be recycled. For every unit recycled, Tri Delta will receive one to two cents that it can donate to its charity, St. Jude’s, explained Nicholas Rossi, project coordinator for Students for Sustainability.

Schüler, die ab sofort am Wettbewerb des Stifte-Herstellers BIC und des Recycling-Unternehmens TerraCycle teilnehmen, können ihre alten Stifte gegen einen neuen Beamer tauschen. Wer bis zum 8.

One of our favorite things to do is to find people or organizations coming up with some innovative ways to repurpose items that could pose as an environmental threat to our land and our lives. This year Old Navy is partnering with TerraCycle, one of the fastest growing eco-companies in the world, to encourage everyone to turn in old, used or broken flip-flops so that they could be used as material for playgrounds. The objective is to help eliminate waste through recycling. TerraCycle was founded by Tom Szaky in 2001 and to date has turned billions of units of waste into diverse recycled products. If you have any old, worn out flip-flops, regardless of their condition, do not throw them away!
