TRENTON — For environmentally savvy people, the only place for a Starburst wrapper or an empty Coke bottle is in a recycling bin. The folks at Terracycle take it one step further. Terracycle is working with The North Face, a retailer of rugged outdoor apparel, to recycle the clear plastic bags used in packaging. The company just cemented a deal to recycle 2 million plastic bags a year collected from 20 North Face stores. “These bags are a huge problem in the industry, and unless there is a recycling solution, they get thrown away,” said Lauren Taylor, spokeswoman for Terracycle.
