Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, TerraCycle
TerraCycle Clif Bar Include USA
When people inquired into CLIF’s business I would have cool things to tell them such as CLIF’s purchase of over 100 million pounds of Organic food products for their bars in their years in the industry or their programs such as the 2mile challenge that collected $100,000 to donate to Nonprofits working toward promoting greener forms of transportation. Another appreciated aspect of CLIF is their partnership with TerraCycle.
While CLIF strives to remain as sustainable as they can possibly be, they have not been able to as of yet package their products in any materials able to preserve them in a way that keeps them adequately fresh and is at the same time ecologically agreeable. Whereas these situations occur too often in corporate endeavors, heavily favoring commercial margins over ecological costs, CLIF has striven to eliminate as many traces as only possible of their carbon footprint by allying themselves with TerraCycle, an outfit that acquires all non-recyclable consumer packaging that would take up space in a landfill otherwise in order to rework these materials into slick and reusable consumer products that range from fences made of juice pouches to kitchen cutting boards composed of empty soda bottles to high back park benches that had been energy bar wrappers.
