ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Cinco de Mayo recycles with fajitas!

TerraCycle Mission Foods Include USA
On May 5, we will celebrate Cinco de Mayo and … recycling!  How could the two meet in green happiness?  TerraCycle, has partnered with Mission Foods to collect the usually non-recyclable wrappers from tortillas, chips, and other food products and recycle them. TerraCycle publicist Megan Yarnall explained, “After feasting on Chicken Fajitas, the packaging can be sent to TerraCycle, a company which upcycles and recycles food wrappers and other waste into bright backpacks, plant grow kits, and even mini speakers. With Mission and TerraCycle, New Hampshire children and parents alike can indulge in healthy food while taking care of their environment.  Schools and community groups in Manchester and the surrounding areas can continue recycling even after Cinco de Mayo by forming a TerraCycle Brigade which collects packaging and sends it to TerraCycle to receive two cents per item for their charity of choice.“
