Gerber, the leader in early childhood nutrition, was associated with the international recycling company TerraCycle to help give new life to packaging food for babies difficult to recycle. This partnership is based on shared Gerber and TerraCycle around waste disposal and supports the recovery of packaging baby food difficult to recycle national values.
"Through this free recycling program, Gerber offers parents an easy way to divert waste from landfills to provide a responsible way to dispose of certain food packaging for babies difficult to recycle; to the collect and recycle these items, families can demonstrate their respect for the environment not only environment through the products they choose for their children, but also how they removed the packaging, "said CEO and founder of TerraCycle, tom Szaky.
Gerber believes the baby food industry should help create a world where babies thrive and this partnership is one of many steps towards its goal of achieving 100% recyclable packaging or reusable 2025.
As an added incentive, for every pound of packaging waste sent to TerraCycle through the Recycling Program Gerber, collectors can earn $ 1 to donate to a nonprofit, school or charity organization of their choice.
"We are delighted to partner with TerraCycle as part of our broader efforts for sustainable packaging; we know that the top priority of every parent is to ensure a healthy and happy future for your baby. Our commitment to sustainability is based on helping parents make the future of your baby is much brighter, "said President and CEO of Gerber, Bill Partyka.
