Tips for recycling sports gear
TerraCycle Clif Bar Include USA
Turn your old sports gear into running tracks, tote bags, rugs and more.
You may know you can recycle running shoes after you’ve trained hard and run a race in them, but did you know you can recycle the race bib you wore in the competition, too? Cliff Bar, the makers of some of my family’s favorite snacks (like their MoJo bars), sent me these tips on recycling all sorts of sports gear. I thought I’d pass them along.
CLIF BAR Wrappers. To keep wrappers out of landfills, CLIF BAR partnered with Terracycle in 2008 to allow consumers to send in used wrappers, which are then made into everything from bike pouches to lunch sacks—and CLIF BAR makes a two-cent donation per wrapper to the school or charity of the sender’s choice. If you’d like to hear more about CLIF BAR’s many recycling, waste reduction and sustainability efforts, please drop me a line!
