TerraCycle is a company known for recycling and upcycling non-recyclable items that was founded in 2001. Their products can be found anywhere from Walmart to Uncommon Goods, a web site where you can purchase upcycled items made from old repurposed mail bags and tents. TerraCycle works with 30 major brands in the U.S. (and worldwide) to collect used packaging and products that would otherwise be thrown into a landfill. The waste is collected through TerraCycle’s Brigade Programs, which are free fundraisers that pay for every piece of waste collected and returned. This company is so innovative and cool I could describe it all day. Find out more about TerraCycle here. They sent me a few upcycled items to chhe first product I received was the M&M’s EcoSpeakers. The speakers are portable, lightweight and are made from 80% recycled materials. You can plug these babies into your laptop, iPod, phone, and more. They don’t require batteries and are extremely easy to assemble. It just takes a little bit of folding and they are ready to use. I find it pretty darn nifty that M&M’s packages can be used to create a casing for speakers. It just takes a little bit of folding and they are ready to use.
