A Suzano Papel e Celulose iniciou uma parceria pioneira no setor e, em parceria com a Terracycle, empresa internacional  de upcycling – reciclagem de materiais e conversão em produtos acessíveis.

“TerraCycle’s purpose is to eliminate the idea of waste. We do this by creating a national recycling systems for the previously non-recyclable. The process starts by offering collect programs (many of them free) to collect your waste and then convert the collected waste into a wide range of products and materials. With over 14 million people collecting waste in 11 countries together we have diverted billions of pieces of waste that are either upcycled or recycled into over 1,500 various products available at major retailers ranging from Walmart to Whole Foods Market. Our hope is to eliminate the idea of waste by creating collection and solution systems for anything that today ends up in our trash.

Founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky, then a 20-year-old Princeton University freshman, TerraCycle began by producing organic fertilizer, packaging liquid worm poop in used soda bottles. Since then TerraCycle has grown into one of the fastest growing green companies in the world.”

This year’s slate also includes three films that are on the short list for Oscar nominations for Best Documentary. Those include Josh Fox’s Gasland, which questions the safety of Halliburton’s natural gas drilling technology, known as “fracking” or hydraulic fracturing. That film will be screened Jan. 22, 7 p.m., and will feature an appearance from Mr. Fox. (NOTE: Gasland was originally scheduled to be shown Jan. 23. Waste Land, which was scheduled for Jan. 22 has been moved to Jan. 23 at 1:30 p.m. That screening will feature a talk by TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky.)

Terracycle recycles the trash you Freepost them and makes products out of them. They will donate a small amount of money to a non-profit organisation or school of your choice for every bit of rubbish they receive. When we mean trash, we literally mean trash.

For those not familiar with "Terracycle", it is one of many organizations that work to create useful items out of waste products. "Terracycle", in conjunction with both consumers and people from within the food and beverage industry, collects empty and discarded items like foil cheese packets, foil beverage pouches, potato chip bags, gum wrappers, beverage bottles and other items. "Terracycle" then converts those items into a wide array of new items like insulated coolers, garbage cans, fences, plant food, household cleaners, photo frames, jewel cases, clothing and fashion accessories. Part of the proceeds from the sale of those items is in turn donated to area schools and non-profit groups.
