Solo Cup Company Review & Giveaway

Summer is coming to a close this weekend with Labor Day. For my family, we have one final summer party as we kick football season into full swing. Granted we just love spending time with family and great friends. To help reduce the time we spend setting up and cleaning up, we use disposable dinnerware--plates, bowl utensils, napkins, cups, etc. and the brand I depend on is Solo Cup Company.
When I get Solo Brand products, I know I am going to get a sturdy product that I can depend on--I know that they are going to hold all that heavy food and drinks for adults and not collapse in little hands. The other thing I love about Solo Cup Company products (besides the song, advertising them that is constantly going through my head whenever I see one of their products) is that they are eco-friendly!
The unique term "Eco-Forward®" expresses Solo’s ongoing commitment to developing greener alternatives that contribute to a more environmentally sustainable future. Many of their products and compostable, recyclable, created with post-consumer recycled content and renewable resource materials. They also have created a line of products called Bare by Solo which takes disposable dinnerware to another level of green! The Bare by Solo includes renewable plates, compostable plates & bowls, recyclable cups and compostable cups. I can attest to how sturdy they are, so you are definitely not giving up quality while your are protecting the earth.

Tom’s of Maine, TerraCycle Launch Brand-Blind Recycling

Tom’s of Maine has partnered with recycling company TerraCycle to keep product packaging out of landfills. The free recycling program, called the Tom’s of Maine Natural Care Brigade, accepts toothpaste tubes and caps, mouthwash bottles and caps, deodorant/antiperspirant containers, plastic soap wrappers and floss containers, regardless of brand.   For each piece of packaging collected and sent in, the collector earns points that can be put toward charity gifts or converted to cash and paid to any school or nonprofit organization. Any individual, company, group or school can join for free and all shipping costs are prepaid.   To coincide with the new program, the company has also launched the Tom’s of Maine Less in Landfills Sweepstakes, through which Brigade participants can earn $1,000 for the non-profit or school of their choice.   TerraCycle collects more than 50 different kinds of products and packaging through its Brigade programs, which are open to any individual or organization. The company says it has already kept more than 2 billion pieces of trash from going to the landfill, and with its partners, dispersed almost $4.5 million to charity.
