Cada vez mais o mundo volta os olhos para as atitudes verdes, buscando, através do menor impacto ambiental possível, maior apelo frente ao seu consumidor, imagem mais positiva e, é claro, compromisso com a causa sustentável. Foi observando essa demanda no mercado que o Húngaro Tom Szaki, em 2001, então com 19 anos, decidiu investir em uma ideia que daria muito certo: a TerraCycle.

Each morning, Westborough Patch presents “5 Things You Need to Know,” a collection of announcements, events and reminders to help you organize your day. 4. TerraCycle, a recycling company, is hoping to reduce packaging waste by paying for it.

A company statement said it turns trash into “bright, innovative products such as backpacks, speakers and pencil cases.”

The local TerraCycle Brigade collects difficult-to-recycle waste to make eco-friendly products. It’s a case of one man’s trash being another man’s treasure. TerraCycle is a global company that collects nonrecyclable and difficult-to-recycle waste and uses it to make affordable, eco-friendly products. For each piece of 'waste' sent in through collection programs called Brigades, TerraCycle pays the UPS shipping charges and awards two points, which can be redeemed for specific charity gifts on TerraCycle.net or converted to 2 cents to be donated to the charity of the collector’s choice. While most municipalities accept glass, aluminum, tin and specific kinds of plastic for recycling, TerraCycle is focused on uncommonly recycled items. The company partners with consumer packaged goods manufacturers to upcycle consumer products. With upcycling, the waste is simply cleaned and shaped, sewn, or fused into new products, such as backpacks, messenger bags, lunch boxes, school supplies, shower curtains, and kites.

O louge trouxe uma uma exposição de peças produzidas com embalagens de chocolates Nestlé pós-consumo, entre vestidos, bolsas e outros acessórios, frutos da parceria da Nestlé com a TerraCycle, líder global em coleta e reuso de resíduos pós-consumo difíceis de reciclar.

A 31ª edição do São Paulo Fashion Week foi realizada no prédio da Bienal, no Parque do Ibirapuera.

Summer is the season for outdoor parties and picnics, and it’s important to take care of the outdoors as you are enjoying it. Instead of filling up your trash can with empty food wrappers and plastic cups after guests leave, you can reuse the packaging yourself or send the waste to TerraCycle, where you can earn money for your favorite charity and keep things out of the local landfill at the same time. TerraCycle, an innovative upcycling and recycling company, partners with brands such as Frito-Lay, Nabisco, Kraft Cheese, Solo, and Scott to reduce the amount of waste being thrown away. Some of the wrappers can also be used for do-it-yourself projects. An easy, crafty summer project is the do-it-yourself chip bowl, which can be made from a Frito-Lay chip bag, and then used for your next party! Or, you can turn your used Solo cups into herb planters for the porch or kitchen. For those who’d prefer to send their waste back to TerraCycle, they’ll earn two cents per item for a charity of their choice.

No TerraCycle o conceito é o seguinte: você troca resíduos por objetos criados com material reciclável. Simples assim e sem sair de casa. Só neste site, já são mais de 180 mil pessoas colaborando com o meio ambiente e se divertido. E você? Vai ficar de fora?

The “Leaders for the Future,” a group of sixth-graders at Lawrence Intermediate School (LIS), spearheaded a recycling program at Lawrence Intermediate School. The students began the planning stages in January during a two-day character education program, sponsored by State Farm Insurance. Students developed a plan of action to reduce the amount of trash from the cafeteria and individual classrooms by setting out bins in the lunch room to collect Capri Sun drink pouches and Frito-Lay chip bags. The leadership group packaged the recycled goods and sent them to TerraCycle in Trenton, N.J.
