Method and TerraCycle partner for package recycling program;
TerraCycle Method Include USA
Method, a maker of premium, eco-friendly household and personal care wipes and other products, and recycling company TerraCycle, Inc., have created a way for families to recycle their used packaging By joining the "Method Refill Brigade," families can collect their used soap refill packaging and send it to TerraCycle. For each unit of packaging received, TerraCycle and Method will pay two cents to a charity of the collector's choice. The collected packaging will be turned into trash cans, coolers and other home goods.
"At Method, we make sure we're using safe and sustainable materials and that our products are manufactured responsibly," says Adam Lowry, Method co-founder. "That doesn't stop at our packaging. We make most of our bottles from 100% recycled plastic and we want to make sure once all of our bottles and pouches are empty, there is a way for them to be recycled."
TerraCycle is a leader in collecting difficult-to-recycle packaging, and upcycling or recycling it into new products through TerraCycle's innovative processes, which have been rated as among the world's most carbon-saving waste solutions. Through its free fundraising programs called Brigades, TerraCycle and its sponsors pay an incentive for people to send in their packaging. To date, more than 1.8 billion pieces of waste have been kept out of landfills, almost $2 million has been paid to schools and nonprofits and almost 70,000 locations are sending their packaging to TerraCycle.
