Many major brands are getting on board with upcycling.  Scott tissue and Huggies are sponsoring programs to collect plastic packaging waste from paper products and diapers. And since most oral hygiene products aren’t recyclable, Colgate and TerraCycle have partnered to collect used toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes.

Editorial Review L'Oreal’s Garnier brand, in partnership with upcycling pioneer, TerraCycle, is hitting the road to announce the new biodegradable Pure Clean hair care line and kick-off a packaging collection program called Personal Care and Beauty Brigade to educate consumers about the recyclability of cosmetic packaging waste. Stop by the Cleaner Greener bus to score free Pure Clean samples, watch product demonstrations and drop off empty hair care, skin care or cosmetic packaging to be recycled into playgrounds.

Those who think they're pretty masterful recyclers have obviously never met Tom Szaky. (pronounced Zack-ee) He is the 27-year-old Hungarian-Canadian founder and CEO ofTerracycle, a company founded in 2001 that collects non-recyclable garbage and turns them into usable, branded merchandise like backpacks, boom boxes and laptop bags. Not only does it help the environment and charity -- over 1 million units of garbage have been collected and over $2 million have been donated -- but it also provides companies like Kraft and Colgate-Palmolive an eco-friendly solution to the tons of waste produced by their brands.

Another gloomy day in Chicago—I can’t wait to go to San Diego next week for the Sustainable Packaging Coalition’s spring meeting! AND, I just booked flights to Rogers, Arkansas, for the Walmart SVN meeting and Expo. Though Dordan is not exhibiting this year, I am excited to see what other vendors are offering and get updated on Walmart’s sustainability initiatives! So I am about half way through TerraCycle CEO Tom Szacky’s book, “Revolution in a Bottle.” It is really, really good, and inspiring! I thoroughly suggest you get yourself a copy today! That which I like so much about his story is his awareness into the economic realities of the market place: one of his main arguments is that the majority of consumers will NOT pay more for a green product; while everyone wants to do well by the environment, few are willing to pay for it. His whole approach, therefore, is to be able to provide green products at a competitive price and performance as those currently on the market. And the best way to do that? Use what is considered waste as your feedstock. BRILLIANT.

« La brigade des instruments d'écriture », c'est le nom donné aux bénévoles chargés de collecter les stylos, feutres et critérium pour les renvoyer chez Bic et Terracycle où ils seront recyclés. Les volontaires peuvent demander un kit pour sensibiliser leur entourage, mais aussi conduire l'action dans les écoles, les universités, les entreprises...

Hersteller von Kugelschreibern schließt sich mit TerraCycle - einem Pionier des Upcycelns und Recycelns - zusammen, um Stiften ein zweites Leben zu schenken. Freiwillige „Sammelteams“ haben in Schulen, Kindergärten und Kindertagesstätten die Möglichkeit, Schreibgeräte und Korrekturmittel zu sammeln. Anstatt wie bisher im Restmüll zu landen, werden die leeren Schreibgeräte anschließend recycelt.

Der Stiftehersteller BIC und das TerraCycle starten das in Deutschland erste Programm zum Sammeln und Recyceln von Schreibgeräten und Korrekturmitteln. Das Programm fördert das Umweltbewusstsein von Kindern und unterstützt gleichzeitig gemeinnützige Organisationen.
