TerraCycle is a pioneer of 'upcycling', which is the process of directly reusing materials that would otherwise have a very short lifecycle to make more-durable, longer-lasting products. There are now three free upcycling programmes in Britain, called Brigades, collecting yogurt pots, coffee pcks and discs, and baby food pouches.

I was recently introduced to TerraCycle, an eco-friendly company that "upcycles" would-be trash into products like bags, backpacks, lunch boxes, pencil cases, coolers, and more.  What a great concept!  These products are unique and sure to be a conversation starter.  Recently the TerraCycle Drink Pouch Brigrade Progam reached a huge milestone by saving 50 million drink pouches from being put in landfills and contributing one MILLION dollars to schools and non-profit organizations!

Congratulations to TerraCycle Drink Pouch Brigrade Program they have saved 50 million pouches from being put in landfills and contributed a MILLION dollars to schools and non-profits!! The Capri Sun beverage brand was one of the earliest supporters of TerraCycle, a company that collects would-be trash and turns it into useful items. The collection program, called the Drink Pouch Brigade, takes place mostly in schools, where children choose to deposit used pouches in special receptacles rather than throw them away. In participating schools, each used drink pouch collected and sent to TerraCycle earns two cents, with the funds going toward needed educational programs and resources. Does your school participate in this program, let us know? Together, students and teachers at over 30,000 schools nation wide have collected 50 million drink pouches for the program over the past two years resulting in the 1 million dollars milestone donation! AMAZING!!!
