Created in partnership with TerraCycle, the recycling program works by encouraging consumers to drop off their empty chip packets to a variety of public collection locations across the country. Alternatively, consumers can also mail the packets directly to TerraCycle to help them be transformed into a variety of different items like fence posts, benches and much more.
If you're into the spooky side of Halloween, there are plenty of fun ways to get your fear fix—going to a haunted house, slathering on fake blood or taking in the latest horror flick. But not even the most adventurous fright fans want to be scared about their family's health or the planet's come Oct. 31. That's not fun-scary, that's just plain old scary.
Waste is a human invention and does not exist in nature. Prior to WWII, consumable products were delivered in reusable containers, goods were purchased in small markets or produced locally, and durable materials allowed for repair and reuse. Nothing went to waste. But with the rise of cheaply mass-produced plastics, increased levels of consumerism, and planned obsolescence in many products, our modern culture now creates waste on an unsustainable scale.
Comprar uma esponja, lavar a louça ou usar na limpeza por algum tempo e jogá-la fora diante dos primeiros sinais de desgaste e ineficiência.
Temos gerado toneladas e mais toneladas de lixo e isso tem se tornado um problemão não só para a administração pública, mas também para as empresas e para toda a população.

Walkers have started a new recycling scheme in order to stop millions of empty crisp packets ending up in landfill after pressure from consumers. The company currently produces more than 7000 non-recyclable crisp packets every minute. However, from December there will be collection points for consumers to deposit any brand of crisp packet, or they can post them to the recycling firm TerraCycle. The packets will be cleaned, shredded and turned into small plastic pellets that will be used to make other plastic items.
Following a viral campaign that saw members of the public posting their empty crisp packets back to Walkers, the company has announced plans to launch a recycling scheme for the much-littered packaging. A petition was published last year on campaigns website 38 Degrees, asking the UK’s biggest crisp manufacturer to make its packets recyclable. Geraint Ashcroft, a 61-year-old retired teacher from Pontypridd in Wales, initiated the campaign that was shared on social media with the hashtag #PacketInWalkers.
Walkers has announced it will launch a nationwide recycling scheme for crisp packets. People will be able to drop the packets off at hundreds of public access collection points or post them for to TerraCycle for recycling. Packets will be cleaned, shredded and turned into small plastic pellets which will then be converted into useful plastic items such as benches and fence posts.
