ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Campaña del Jardín de Infantes San Carlos N°1213

Todos podemos contribuir a una mejor calidad de Vida cuidando el medio ambiente y colaborando con el Jardín de Infantes San Carlos N°1213 TerraCycle es un emprendimiento en el que participan personas de diferentes países para que sea posible realizar productos ambientalmente amigables y económicos a partir de desechos. En un país en el que la basura representa uno de los principales problemas ambientales, hoy TerraCycle cuenta con Brigadas que se encargan de recolectar sobres usados de bebidas en polvo para que luego se conformen con ellos novedosos y prácticos productos. Además de ayudar al medio ambiente, la iniciativa tiene un importante rol social al destinar lo recolectado escuelas y organizaciones no lucrativas que reciben $ 0,10 por sobre que juntan. Las recolecciones son posibles gracias a la conformación que tienen lugar en cada región; en Sunchales Santiago Porporato propuso dicha campaña y destinaría lo que la empresa paga a nuestra Institución. Por eso pedimos la colaboración de toda la comunidad para que junten y acerquen al jardín sobres de juegos en polvo ( tang, clight, zucco, etc.) y los depositen en lugar destinado para tal fin que se encuentran en los tres barrios donde funciona el Jardín de Infantes San Carlos 1213. Su participación es clave para contribuir con nuestro esfuerzos. Pueden consultar la pag. Web : atencionalconsuminor@terracycle.com.ar

Garnier Cleaner Greener Tour at Walmart in Dallas

This week, Garnier’s Cleaner Greener Tour will be parked at Walmart on Cockrell Hill Road in Dallas from Wednesday-Friday. Walmart shoppers can bring any and all hair care, skin care and cosmetic packaging to the tour vehicle to be recycled by TerraCycle and score some free samples of Pure Clean. Garnier is kicking off a packaging collection and recycling program with TerraCycle called the Personal Care and Beauty Brigade and announcing Pure Clean, a new biodegradable hair care line.

Protecting the Planet for Baby contest!

Sprout, the organic baby food brand co-founded and created by Executive Chef and father, Tyler Florence, and TerraCycle, the world’s leader in the collection of non-recyclable and difficult-to-recycle packaging, are thrilled to announce the Protecting the Planet for Baby contest! Sprout and TerraCycle are asking parents WHY they are protecting the planet for the sake of their children. Maybe Mom was really inspired by a trip to Yellowstone and wants her baby to have the same experience? Maybe Dad struggles with asthma and is wants his daughter to have cleaner air to breathe? The reasons and ways parents are going green are wide and varied, but TerraCycle and Sprout want to hear about them all!

Taking Care of Polystyrene

  Another PS product maker, Solo Cup Co. of Lake Forest, Ill., also launched a recycling initiative last month, teaming with TerraCycle Inc. of Trenton, N.J., which works with schools and nonprofits to recycle snack-food packaging. Solo will make a 2-cent donation to schools, nonprofit groups or Keep America Beautiful for each trademarked Solo Squared PS drinking cup that is collected and sent, at Solo’s cost, to TerraCycle, which turns the recycled material into benches, playground equipment and other outdoor products.
