Recycling initiative at Keene’s Crossing Elementary turns into race for new playground
capri-sun Include USA Milestone program
The contest is hosted by TerraCycle, a New Jersey company dedicated to recycling and environmental awareness. TerraCycle offers a program called the Drink Pouch Brigade, in which schools or other groups collect Capri Sun or Honest Kids drink pouches and ship them to TerraCycle, which then up-cycles the pouches into various products, such as pencil cases and backpacks. Keene’s Crossing joined the Drink Pouch Brigade in fall of 2012, long before there even was the potential for a new playground.
