In more efforts to divert trash from Conway’s city landfill, Julia Lee Moore elementary has enrolled in a program to reuse non-recyclables to create new, functional products — and make a little money while they are at it. Brigades, a nationwide program, pays schools and non-profit organizations 2 cents per juice pouch, which parents opt for in convenience, and turns them into a range of upcycled products. Upcycling is the process in which disposable or discarded items are repurposed to make them valuable or useful. TerraCycle’s hope is that with the program, waste will be eliminated and according to their Web site, used to create innovative products from “materials others deem garbage.”
