I discovered the site TerraCycle through information that was on my gourd organic fruit juice. It said that the packaging could be recycled and the TerraCycle website report stated. Curious as I am, so I went to make a turn and I found their concept quite surprising! TerraCycle proposes to harvest some of the daily waste (yogurt, pencils, printer cartridges, packaging for chips or cakes ...) and send them for free via UPS.United States simply drop the box in a UPS box or in a shop in France and the UPS will look directly at you! ;) In return for this you collect points which are used to receiving gifts eco-friendly or to make donations paid to schools and charities. TerraCycle uses these waste products to create other, totally recyclable, you've already had to perceive in some shops, I'm sure! You have to register on the site and then enroll in "brigades" that correspond to the waste that is to be harvested. This system exists for different countries, not only for the United States: France, Canada, Germany, Spain ... To see the types of products that can retrieve and send, just choose the country in the small bar "Select your country" at the top of the homepage. However, I note a few minor gripes ... For some countries there are very few brands that participate in the experiment. In France for example, only offered to collect the Bic pens. But hey when you do the bottom of the barrel, which is recovered all the old pens that no longer works, it's been enough to send! :) And for the United States, where many brands are available, his little bio: only two brigades of 29 porposant retrieve food packaging! Luckily it was the good because they are two brands that we consume at home ;) But I still adheres to the concept and I will participate by sending my yoghurt pots and gourds my juices!
