According to Ocean Legacy, as of 2014, more than five trillion pieces of non-biodegradable plastic are floating in the world’s waters. When it comes to reversing the tide, awareness and recycling are key. Burt’s Bees Purely White Toothpaste packaging is 100% recyclable through a partnership with Terracycle.

TerraCycle is an innovative recycling business that upcycles and resells collected materials to be used in new products. Ultimately, TerraCycle will shred and melt down old toothbrushes and toothpaste tubes and mold the material to create a beautiful playground for a children’s hospital. If Anderson Dental wins, the playground will be installed at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.

To build the playground, used dental products and discarded packaging were combined with high-density polyethylene, said Sue Kauffman, a spokeswoman for TerraCycle, the Trenton, New Jersey-based recycling company that built the playground.

Wolf passionately pointed out the unacceptable sea of plastic created by the beauty industry and called on fellow beauty brands to dial up action. With the first shower-safe paper bottle, Seed Phytonutrients is revolutionizing environmental sustainability. The brand packaging is composed of 100 percent post-consumer recycled paper and a post-consumer recycled liner — which is 60 percent less plastic than a typical bottle — and the pump can be recycled through partner TerraCycle. Additionally, all formula ingredients are 93-100 percent natural origin.

Similarly, beauty and health items such as lipsticks, contact lenses and product packaging are often thrown out with general waste, most probably due to a lack of knowing how to mindfully bin then. Organizations such as TerraCycle specialize in recycling and up-cycling hard-to-manage waste. After logging your product on a website, you can print off a free postage label and send your unwanted goods off, knowing they will be disposed in a eco-friendly way.

Matthew Sharon, 10, a student at John H. West Elementary School in the Plainedge school district, gathered with his classmates teachers and staff, Tuesday, June 11, 2019, to celebrate their new playground made entirely out of recycled dental products. The school won the Colgate & ShopRite Recycled playground challenge, by collecting the most dental products. Students and district officials were joined by representatives from Colgate-Palmolive, ShopRite and TerraCycle, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony commemorating the unique playground.

“Zero-waste” packaging may seem like an oxymoron, but that’s the vision of a new company working to create a sustainable ecosystem of goods for consumers and manufacturers. The New Jersey-based company, Loop, is leading the charge to create a world in which consumers buy products, but don’t have to throw away the packaging.
