Para Guilherme, o governo também deve participar desse momento, incentivando as práticas sustentáveis e esse novo modelo de mercado.

Presidente da TerraCycle comenta sobre o mercado brasileiro e a sustentabilidade.

A TerraCycle conta com a colaboração dos consumidores na sua cadeia produtiva.

Gadget geeks Upcycled snack bag speakers by TerraCycle and Merkury Innovations are made from recycled snack bags that have been melted into plastic. They’re great for an iPod or MP3 player and are universally compatible and battery-free (they run off of your device’s power supply).

I checked out the details on the packet and they have joined with TerraCycle to "upcycle" the refill packs and turn them into shopping bags, umbrellas and more! They even will give 2p per packet you return to a charity of your choice - I have chosen Macmillan Cancer Support, plus you can print off a Freepost label! A Win win situation. When I have returned 3 packets I could order a pencil case or 6 packets for a shopping bag, so helping the environment by using that rather than plastic carrier bags and saving the landfill by recycling. My packet is ready to post off to Terracycle - which incidentally does recycle other products and you can join with others to raise money for schools and groups.

A empresa TerraCycle criou uma linha exclusiva de produtos com esse conceito que vão de acessórios a utilidades para casa.

Danone has introduced a free packaging reclamation program across the UK. The new program, called the ‘Danone Yogurt Brigade’ incentivises the return of used yogurt pots by paying a school or not for profit of choice 2p per empty pot or bottle returned.

Empresa, escolas ou grupos de amigos também podem se agrupar em times de coleta.

Que tal aderir de vez à onda da sustentabilidade e distribuirmos presentes ecologicamente corretos?

Every product has a story to tell. A jacket that has been made from hot air balloons or a luxury handbag made out of old fire hoses - our waste is increasingly being used as raw material to create new products. This process is called upcycling which helps to reduce thousands of tonnes of waste going to landfill. Some organisations such as TerraCycle, are also educating communities on the environmental impact of our consumption and encourages concious buying.
