ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Las colillas también se reciclan

¿Qué se esconde detrás de cada colilla? Hasta ahora solo sabíamos que la vida de un cigarrillo dura lo que el consumidor tarda en fumar, pero a raíz de la campaña “Apaga y recicla”, hemos descubierto que hay vida después de una colilla. Los residuos que generan los cigarrillos, ya sea ceniza, filtros o el papel que envuelve el tabaco pueden ser tratados en plantas de reciclaje para crear nuevos productos.

2012 Review: TerraCycle Is an Important Environmental Group

Cloth diapering has become popular these days, but cloth toilet paper may be where some people draw the line. Not Christena Little. Little decided to transition her lifestyle to “zero-waste” nearly a year ago, and hasn’t looked back since. One exception Little noted was that her family doesn’t drink cow’s milk, so she still buys almond milk that comes in a container that is only recycled in a few places. However, Little mentioned www.terracycle.com, which lists collection “brigades” that accept items like this. The specific brigade will send you a box to mail them the items and they either make a new product out of the item or find another use for it. While Little admits that she and her family are still working towards becoming as waste-free as possible, she is working to hopefully “get there someday,” she said.

TerraCycle Helps Sea Angels Keep Palm Beach County's Coast Clean

After Sea Angels collects the litter, members reuse the materials to create recycled artwork before dumping it. And any material that is not accepted by the Solid Waste Authority, goes to TerraCycle — a company that makes textiles out of recycled products. The Halaszes plan to add an educational element to the beach cleanups through the Sea Cherub program for children. “We want to expand our efforts and speak to classrooms. If we can get the kids excited about beach cleanups then they can change the future,” Robyn Halasz said.

TerraCycle Praised for Social Media Integration

We hear a lot of buzz about different social media networks and which one works better than another. In reality, using a combination of sites together is a solid strategy for reaching the greatest number of fans. Individual fans each have their own preferences as far as which sites they like and the types of information they prefer to receive on each. Having a presence on different social networks and understanding your audience is incredibly important. TerraCycle is a great example of a company using Facebook and Twitter together for a cohesive social strategy that addresses the needs of their audience. The New Jersey-based recycling company has won over 39,800 fans on Facebook and earned an additional 19,600 Twitter followers.
