Bimbo Bakeries USA, a baking company based in Horsham, Pennsylvania, has partnered with TerraCycle, Trenton, New Jersey, to make its bread, buns, bagels and English muffin bags in the U.S. nationally recyclable.   For every pound of packaging scrap sent to TerraCycle through the new Bimbo Bakeries USA Recycling Program, collectors earn points that can be used for charitable gifts or converted to cash to be donated to nonprofit organizations, according to a news release from Bimbo Bakeries on the partnership.   “Because plastic bags, like those used in our packaging, are not recyclable today through household recycling streams, most end up in landfills. Expanding our partnership with TerraCycle enables consumers across the country to easily recycle our plastic bags from their own homes at no charge,” says Fred Penny, president of Bimbo Bakeries USA. “This was an important, immediate action for our company as we work toward our commitment of 100 percent sustainable packaging by 2025. As the first and only baking company to partner with TerraCycle, we have already recycled more than 5 million pounds of waste and look forward to enabling consumers to divert more millions of pounds of plastic from landfills.”   Bimbo customers interested in recycling their bread, buns, bagels and English muffin bags can sign up for this program on TerraCycle’s website, collect the packaging and mail it in using a free prepaid shipping label. The new program is open to any interested individual, school, office or community organization. Bimbo Bakeries says the submitted packaging is cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products.
