ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Subaru Is Creating Furniture From Recycled Coffee Pods And Candy Wrappers

TerraCycle Include USA Subaru
From: inquirer.com Move over, Outbacks, Foresters, and Imprezas. Subaru of America has gotten into the outdoor furniture business.   Two years ago, the Camden-headquartered automotive corporation teamed up with TerraCycle, a Trenton-based recycling company, to create tables, chairs, and benches out of discarded, hard-to-recycle items: snack wrappers, disposable cups, lids, plastic straws, and coffee, tea, and creamer cups.   Some of the furniture is now permanently installed outside Camden City Hall. Other pieces have graced the Philadelphia Auto Show and the Philadelphia Flower Show. The items are among more than 100 the company has donated as part of its Subaru Loves the Earth program. The initiative aims to reduce waste, safeguard resources for future generations, and preserve natural spaces.
