All those Capri Sun juice drinks students at Walnut Heights Elementary have been drinking are making money for the school. Walnut Heights is part of TerraCycle's "Drink Pouch Brigade," a free fundraising program that pays 2 cents per unit of waste collected. TerraCycle and Capri Sun have reached a major milestone in the brigade with 50 million pouches collected and a whopping $1 million paid to schools and nonprofits across the country -- just for the schools sending TerraCycle its waste.

Terracycle, azienda del ventottenne Tom Szaky sta per approdare anche in Italia. La multinazionale è nata da un'idea geniale: acquistare oggetti riciclabili per rivenderli ad aziende interessate a trasformarli. Dai tappi di plastica ai sacchetti delle patatine, tutto può essere recuperato e diventare fonte di bunisses. Sostenibile

A new campaign has been launched in schools accross the country encouraging students to upcycle used writing instruments.

To celebrate the resourceful, hard working moms that give back to their community (it might be you!) and are mindful of the environment, Ziploc Brand and TerraCycle, the manufacturers of eco-friendly products from waste materials, are searching nationwide for that special “Make-A-Difference-Mom.” They’d like your help in discovering the mom who outsmarts waste in everything she does.

An initiative to encourage people to recycle their yoghurt pots has been launched by TerraCycle in conjunction with food manufacturer Danone.

TerraCycle produces the world’s first consumer product line that is not only made completely from waste, but is also packaged in waste.

Terracycle upcycles consumer waste into new salable goods. They primarily harvest their raw material from schoolchildren as part of charity drives, though they are now placing recycling stations at certain Walmart stores. At the Walmart centers they pay 3 cents per piece, but only for a narrow range of product packaging; the website supports a wider range of recyclables. The spirit of the project is wonderful, but the problem is that it creates zombie advertising and branding for these undead consumer objects. Which is actually not all that surprising, as the Walmart program is sponsored by the very brands whose packaging are featured in the upcycled goods.
