n addition to domestic players, TerraCycle, a waste management company from Trenton, New Jersey, which won the UN Monument Award, is helping to tackle China's plastic pollution problem. In 2016, the company arrived in China with a program sponsored by home products manufacturer Colgate to recycle used toothpaste tubes and toothbrushes. Since then, it has collected 63,000 pieces of oral care waste. The company recently launched a contest among primary schools in Shanghai to encourage children to recycle oral care waste and collect votes on drawings themed "Green Future". The winning school will receive a 3D printer. "A green future will not happen without a clean and healthy environment - that's the educational message we want to send out," said Tom Szaky, TerraCycle's founder and CEO.
