One company is making a big impact with their innovative initiative to find a practical use for nearly all commercial packaging waste. TerraCycle <http://www.terracycle.net/>  not only encourages recycling through their upcycling brigades, where consumers are paid for their waste, but they turn said waste into valuable products! These products are then sold at major retailers nationwide, such as WalMart, Target, Petco, and Whole Foods.
