When students in Liz Gingrich's second-grade class at Westmere Elementary School aren't learning to add and subtract fractions, they're busy recycling juice pouches as members of TerraCycle's Drink Pouch Brigade. TerraCycle collects hard-to-recycle items -- like Capri Sun juice pouches, candy wrappers, even toothbrushes -- from school and nonprofit "brigades" across the country, donating a few cents per unit collected. The company then turns those used materials into affordable, eco-friendly green products, a process know as "upcycling." Since the spring of 2009, students at Westmere have collected a total of 4,300 juice pouches. At two cents a pop, they've received about $90 from TerraCycle. Money raised through the program will be donated to local nonprofit and charitable organizations, which the students will help choose.
