SPANISH FORT, Ala. — It's not yet Earth Day, but Baldwin County residents have no shortage of options for going green a little earlier than usual. Trenton, N.J.-based TerraCycle Inc. has partnered with Old Navy and Office Depot to run recycling drives across the country throughout the month of April, and at least eight local schools have found a new fundraising partner in the process. Founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky, a then-20-year-old Princeton University freshman, TerraCycle began by producing organic fertilizer and has grown into one of the fastest-growing green companies in the world. Success has come from encouraging consumers to “rethink waste” by finding uses for previously unrecyclable materials. The company produces everything from fencing and insulated coolers to fertilizers and all-purpose cleaners, but it does so by collecting and recycling everything from drink pouches and candy wrappers to potato chip bags and toothbrushes.

Recycle. Use your community’s recycling program and look for other ways to recycle.  For example, you can collect the empty juice pouches from your child’s school and send them in to TerraCycle.  TerraCycle will use them to make backpacks, pencil cases, bags, and more.  In return, TerraCycle pays $.02 per pouch to your school or non-profit organization.

Focus sur une initiative intéressante pour aller encore plus loin dans le tri et la revalorisation des déchets : Terracycle. Terracycle lance les brigades du tri destinées à collecter des déchets qu’il est difficile de recycler. Chaque équipe se dévoue à un type de déchets qu’elles renvoie à Terracycle. Cette année, la 1ère en France, elles s’attaquent à la récupération des stylos, feutres et autres instruments d’écriture afin de les transformer en bancs de jardin, arrosoirs, etc… tout en collectant des fonds à destination d’associations. Alors, en serez-vous ?
