Terracycle for Back to School Shopping
capri-sun TerraCycle Include USA USPS Clif Kid
There are a lot of eco-friendly companies out there, but no other company is quite like TerraCycle. This company literally takes your garbage and makes practical products such as plant food, backpacks, frames, toys and more! This company pays schools and non-profit organizations for their trash saving 1000's of tons of waste from going to landfills. For every item return, TerraCycle donates 2 cents to the school or charity. This company is so amazing!
Some of the back to school products they offer include a Clif Kid Backpack that is a colorful and sturdy bag made from Clif Kid Bar packaging and is sure to stand out from the crowd while holding everything a student might need. They offer a Drink Pouch Pencil Case, made out of upcycled drink pouches from Capri Sun, which is perfect for organizing pencils, pens and other classroom essentials. Plus, they offer an iPad/tablet case made from the durable canvas of retired United States Postal Service bags, boasting a vintage look and a soft, protective interior pouch.
I had the opportunity to review a Coin Pouch that was crafted from a retired US Mail Bag. The one-of -a-kind pouch has a zipper close for organizing coins, makeup, and other small items (dimensions: 5.5" x 3.5"). I figured this would be perfect for my daughter who is frequently taking money or small items (like jewelry) to school - but often losing it. Thanks to the recycled material, this coin purse is built tough. My daughter is really rough with her stuff, but this coin purse should definitely last! It has an easy zipper closure so even smaller children could easily use it. With this adorable case, she will be much less likely to lose small coins and pieces and she thinks it is really cool that she will have something that no one else has!
