Loblaws announced today that a new pilot will soon be tested in the Toronto area. Loop, a company known for its circular shopping system designed to limit waste, will be teaming up with Canada's largest grocery retailer on Loblaws reusable grocery containers in Toronto. According to a Loop press release, the new initiative will be launched early next year in Toronto on a trial basis. It will allow participants to buy products from several leading brands, including President’s Choice, in reusable containers.

Loop, founded by TerraCycle, was unveiled at this year’s World Economic Forum. With the announcement came a renewed sense of hope about the human drive to preserve the planet. And a wish that, after the US got their share of the experience, the milkman-model sustainable delivery platform would make its way to Canada.

• Clothes: Clothing that’s too worn for donation shouldn’t go in the trash. If it has holes, stains, or other severe damage, you can repurpose it into rags for cleaning the house. But if you just want those old clothes out of your sight, send them to a recycling service like TerraCycle. Goodwill also sends unsold clothes to textile recyclers, so that’s not a terrible home for your damaged items. Just make sure not to donate wet or moldy clothing, which will go straight to the landfill.

The Brigantine Green Team and TerraCycle have partnered by purchasing three “Zero Waste” boxes which will allow our community to recycle specific types of waste. TerraCycle is a company that works with communities, companies or individuals who wish to recycle items that are traditionally nonrecyclable. TerraCycle has recycling solutions for pretty much every type of waste available for purchase.

Consumers can participate by visiting the TerraCycle’s L.O.L. Surprise! page online and clicking submit product. The site will then issue consumers a free shipping label where they can apply to any shipping box filled with L.O.L. Surprise! packaging and products. TerraCycle has made the process fast, easy, and convenient for consumers.
