Candy wrapper recycling effort under way at CPA
TerraCycle Mars Cadbury Include USA
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- The Center for the Performing Arts at Penn State is participating in a new "green" initiative by collecting candy wrappers that are recycled and converted into various products. Through a TerraCycle program called the Candy Wrapper Brigade, which awards points for each wrapper collected, the Center for the Performing Arts wants to accumulate enough points to provide clean drinking water for a year to a family of four in a developing country.
Patrons attending Center for the Performing Arts and other presentations at Eisenhower auditorium are encouraged to place used candy wrappers in lobby collection boxes. Eligible waste -- from auditorium concession sales or from home or office use -- includes individual candy wrappers, large candy bags and multi-pack candy bags.
