The company’s current programs in the nation focus on plastic bottles, dental products, and hair care product packaging. In addition to funding recycling initiatives, TerraCycle encourages people to deposit used items for “upcycling” — transforming waste materials into new products — in return for credit that can be converted into charitable cash donations. The repurposed materials themselves have a social impact, too: One TerraCycle program pledged to donate desks and chairs made from recycled plastic packaging to a Beijing school for homeless youth and children of migrant workers.
I’m standing at the supermarket checkout and I get that guilty, sinking feeling again. I forgot to bring reusable bags. Between organizing play dates, dealing with a small child’s playground meltdown, trying to cram in a home-cooked meal, and running my own business, surely I can cut myself a break for not remembering to bring canvas bags?
Once I started
Common Good, a company that makes refillable soaps and cleaners, this stopped being my inner monologue. My line of work shows me exactly what our plastic consumption habit is doing, and I can't brush it off anymore.
You’ve seen the shocking stats. Americans throw away
100 billion plastic bags annually; plastic that can take over
1,000 years to break down. It's all heading into our oceans, and the infamous
Great Pacific Garbage Patch floats into my mind as the cashier hands me my groceries in plastic and says, “Have a nice day.” All it takes is a few small changes in our shopping habits to make a impact. Let’s start with these five.

みなさん、毛先が広がって古くなった歯ブラシは、どうしていますか？ 使用済みの歯ブラシは、
家庭ゴミとして捨てられてしまうことがほとんどで、日本では、年間およそ4億5,000万本もの
歯ブラシが消費されています。こうした古い歯ブラシを集めて、まったく新しい製品を作っているのが「テラサイクル」という会社。
Safe teeth whitening is something I advocate for as a dentist. Many of my patients have asked me about using whitening toothpastes to help whiten their teeth at home, and I always tell them to be extremely careful. That’s because a lot of whitening toothpastes use abrasive additives to basically scrub the stains away. That may work in the short term, but the stain isn’t the only thing being scrubbed away – the enamel goes bye bye, as well. That was before. Now I tell everyone about Tom’s of Maine Luminous White Whitening Toothpaste for safe teeth whitening.
If you are looking to make some spare cash, upgrade some old stuff, or rid your garage of unused clutter take a look at the many ways we found to recycle, donate or sell your old gadgets.
The two companies listed below will help you recycle just about anything.
This month the Canadian waste and recycling management services company announced an e-commerce partnership with TerraCycle. It’s an effort meant to divert more cosmetics and personal care waste from landfills and incineration.
Making the boxes and recycling service available online should mean that RecycleSmart can reach and serve more customers and divert more waste in the process.
“We are ecstatic to begin a partnership with RecycleSmart since both organizations share a common mission of increasing waste diversion and offering additional recycling options in Canada,” Sunil Kaushik, senior manager of TerraCycle Canada, tells the press. “Through RecycleSmart’s website, businesses and individuals can now purchase Zero Waste Boxes to recycle many items previously deemed non-recyclable, from coffee capsules to safety equipment.”
