At the end of the season, these groups will collate the numbers and send the cigarette butts to
Terracycle, where the plastic component of the filters will be recycled into plastic items such as park benches. The results of the pilot project will be shared with the CVRD as the CVNHE advocates for the purchase and installation of permanent ashtrays starting in those areas closest to the ocean.
Italian in the backcountry? Mountain House has you covered. Their new Fusilli Pasta with Italian Sausage is a hearty home-cooked meal when you need it the most. The entree consists of “spun fusilli pasta in a rustic tomato sauce made with fire-roasted veggies, garlic, basil, and Italian-style sausage”. This has become a go-to for late night dinners in the van after long days on the trail. The best part is that it has a clean ingredients list that would make your grandmother proud. Mountain House is committed to using only real ingredients. If you look at their ingredients list (which is listed clearly for each option on their website) you will never find artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. Just delicious, ready-in-minutes food! One thing we’re stoked for this year is Mountain House’s partnership with
TerraCycle, a company that offers free recycling for clean, empty Mountain House pouches.
Students took their first load last week to Gerald Subaru of North Aurora, which has a recycling box from TerraCycle. They also have started recycling markers through Crayola ColorCycle, since those also cannot be recycled through the city. The group hopes to continue their efforts next year!
Sustainability is also a key concern to one of the “greenest” markets: cannabis. Canada’s first nationwide cannabis packaging recycling program has been rolled out by recycling experts
TerraCycle and cannabis brand Tweed. Last year, Canada became the second country after Uruguay to legalize recreational cannabis use. Tweed has voiced the need for a recycling system for all the new containers, tubes and packages created by the growing cannabis industry, in a bid to divert these away from landfills and upcycling them into other products.
À l'occasion de la
journée mondiale des Océans qui a eu lieu le 8 juin, la
Herbal Essences a souhaité lancer une gamme de produits aux contenants 100% recyclables. La marque s'est associée à
Terracycle (une compagnie de recyclage) pour créer des bouteilles fabriquées à partir de 25% de plastique retrouvé sur les plages à travers le monde. S'il n'est pas toujours évident d'éviter le plastique, il faut garder à l'esprit que cette matière peut être recyclée et ré-utilisée plusieurs fois! La gamme propose un shampoing au pamplemousse blanc et menthe de Meuse, un autre à l'huile d'argan du Maroc et un dernier au lait de coco. À noter que ces 3 produits sont bio et disponibles en édition limitée à partir de juin 2019.
TerraCycle, an East Coast firm that specializes in recycling items typically seen as "non-recyclable," (such as used oral-hygiene products), has partnered with CVS pharmacies, Starlight Children's Foundation and Colgate-Palmolive in the nationwide recycling effort.
