We came across this story because of the repurposing challenge through a program partnership initiated by Colgate® with schools. The Recycled Playground Challenge created by TerraCycle®, a highly-awarded, international upcycling and recycling company that collects difficult-to-recycle packaging and products, is collaborating with Colgate® on this effort. TerraCycle® repurposes material into affordable, innovative products. The goal of TerraCycle® is to be a trusted resource for schools, communities, families and corporations, to find out information and news that will help live a greener and cleaner lifestyle. https://www.terracycle.com/en-US/ TerraCycle® and Colgate® have partnered to create the Colgate Oral Care Brigade®, a free recycling program for oral care product packaging and a fundraising opportunity for participants. Colgate Oral Care Brigade’s accepted waste includes:

• Toothpaste tubes and caps
• Toothbrushes
• Toothbrush and toothpaste tube outer packaging
• Floss containers
