ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Rubbermaid expands recycling options

TerraCycle Include Canada (English) Rubbermaid
Rubbermaid – a division of Newell Brands – has announced a partnership with international recycling leader, TerraCycle.   Through the Rubbermaid Food Storage Recycling Program, any interested individual, office, school, or community organisation in North America can now send in all brands of well-used glass and plastic food containers to be recycled for free.   Users can sign up on TerraCycle for the US or Canada and mail the products using a prepaid shipping label. Once collected, they are cleaned and melted into hard plastic or glass that can be remoulded to make new recycled items.   “Partnering with TerraCycle allows us to create an even more sustainable product lifecycle while giving people an easy way to recycle their containers,” said Ryan Hall, Marketing Director, Food Storage at Newell Brands.   TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky added: “Newell Brands and Rubbermaid are offering consumers a unique opportunity to divert waste from landfills and responsibly dispose of food storage containers that may initially seem unrecyclable.”   Trenton (NJ), USA
