“Drink more water” is a prescription that for too many people around the world is easier said than done. As it stands, one in ten people (663 million people - twice the population of the United States) are currently living without access to safe water. Cited by the World Economic Forum as being the #1 global risk to society in terms of devastation and impact, this water crisis stands in the way of the health, safety and economic empowerment of people in both developing countries and first world nations.

Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 every year. The foundation that leads the world in celebrating Earth Day, called Earth Day Network, is focusing this year’s Earth Day on ending plastic pollution, an epidemic that is poisoning our earth’s resources.

Com o tema “Traçando Caminhos para reciclagem” a campanha promove a disponibilização do campus em ser um ponto de coleta desses instrumentos de escrita e é extensiva a todos os campi do instituto que desejarem participar, além deles, as escolas públicas e privadas do municipio de Tobias Barreto também estão sendo incentivadas a apoiarem essa causa.

TerraCycle has partnered with Colgate and ShopRite in the 2018 Recycled Playground Challenge. Students will compete for one of two recycled playgrounds for their school in the biggest contest in the promotion’s history. Schools in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, and Maryland can compete for two new playgrounds made of recycled material.

What is TerraCycle? TerraCycle is a global leader in recycling hard-to-recycle waste. Whether it's coffee capsules from your home, pens from a school, or plastic gloves from a manufacturing facility, TerraCycle can collect and recycle almost any form of waste. We partner with individual collectors, as well as major consumer product companies, retailers, manufacturers, municipalities, and small businesses across 20 different countries. With your help, we are able to divert millions of pounds of waste from landfills and incinerators each month. In China, we are offering oral care waste recycling program and hair care packaging recycling program. To learn more and get involved, check our website: www.terracycle.cn What are some challenges you’re facing with TerraCycle in China? Recycling is easier said than done. People are often interested to participate but not willing to put in time & efforts. Secondly, most products and packaging are considered non-recyclable only because of economics – recycling costs money. We need more responsible corporations to sponsor our programs!

Tom Szaky is the founder and CEO of TerraCycle, a global leader in the collection and repurposing of complex waste streams. TerraCycle operates in 21 countries, working with the world’s largest brands and companies to create national platforms to recycle products and packaging that currently go to landfill or incineration. Through TerraCycle, Tom is pioneering new waste management processes to create circular solutions for materials such as cigarette butts, laboratory waste, coffee capsules, personal and oral care waste and even food packaging that otherwise have no other path to be recycled.

If you reach a sudsy arm out from behind the shower curtain and toss your empty shampoo bottle in the trash, you’re not alone. According to DoSomething.org, 50 percent of people in the U.S. don’t recycle personal care items. And failing to recycle bathroom products means 552 million plastic bottles could wind up in U.S. landfills every year, according to Johnson & Johnson.
