In the current era, many initiatives are put forward to reduce pollution as much as possible. Concerned about its environment, the Toothbox also wants to be part of the change by adopting responsible behaviors as for the reduction of the waste. For example, the company recently joined the TerraCycle program, a world leader in recycling waste that is generally considered non-recyclable.   In fact, each of the Alma, Chicoutimi, Jonquière and Roberval branches is now equipped with a "Zero Waste" box for the recycling of oral care waste. The Toothbox therefore offers you to bring all your empty packaging of toothpaste tubes, your old toothbrushes, old prostheses, as well as floss containers. The boxes will then be sent to TerraCycle for waste management and processing.   About Terracycle  All the waste that would ordinarily be incinerated and sent to a landfill, TerraCycle recycles it and transcycle it. The program also aims to give new life to waste by creating new products that can be used with materials that would simply have ended up in the trash. As a result, a lot of waste is converted into plastic pellets that can be used to make benches, picnic tables and even playgrounds.    Recycle everything  All waste received is mechanically and manually separated into fiber categories (such as wood and film-coated paper), fabrics, metals, plastic and other materials. Subsequently, the resulting fibers will be hydrotransformed to separate the coatings, such as wax and plastic. Once the fibers are separated, they will be recycled into new paper products or composted if recycling is not feasible. The resulting plastics will be recycled into plastic polymers. Fabrics will be separated for reuse, recycling or upcycling. Flexible and rigid plastics undergo extrusion and granulation to mold into various recycled plastic products. Other materials, such as glass or rubbers, will be recycled appropriately for this category of waste.   This is an initiative that aims once again to make the world smile!   To learn more about the program, visit www.terracycle.com.
