Back to School LookBook: Terracycle

It’s almost time for school in our neck of the woods and my kids are getting ready for back to school.  We’ve been getting all our school supplies and everything for school and making adjustments so they are ready when school starts next week.  I received a kids messenger bag from Terracycle to feature for my back to school guide.  Here’s my daughter with her back to school look.

Back to School with TerraCycle

Summer is still officially here, but for our children back to school is closing in on the horizon! Soon they will be back with their friends, teachers, and school books; lockers will be slamming and they will be racing off to the next class.
This year, send them off to school with something from TerraCycle. TerraCycle offers various school supplies that allow students to be expressive with their supplies and accessories while also caring for the environment. TerraCycle, a recycling and upcycling company, uses traditionally non-recyclable items to create a variety of cool, creative and eco-friendly school supplies.
TerraCycle's Drink Pouch Pencil Case is perfect for younger children to take to the classroom. Sturdy and cute, the pencil case is made from upcycled drink pouch materials that would have otherwise ended up in a landfill. TerraCycle also offers shiny, flexible upcycled Sun Chips folders to help keep students organized.
Environmentally conscious parents can send their kids back to school with upcycled TerraCycle backpacks, made with materials from food and snack companies like Frito-Lay. Not just for young children, these well-crafted and stylish backpacks could be a fun and eco-friendly statement for college bound students. Aside from backpacks, the TerraCycle Doritos Messenger Bag, made from actual Doritos bags, can help students pack for class while reminding them of their favorite snacks.
One of my favorite items from TerraCycle is this sharp, functional messenger bag; it is made from pre-consumer waste from the Doritos X-13D packaging material. The messenger bag comes with an adjustable strap.

MACOMB TOWNSHIP: Iroquois Middle School earns money by recycling drink pouches

Iroquois Middle School students earned money and prizes for their school by collecting and recycling the drink pouches they use at home and in the lunchroom. Students have just reached the second level of TerraCycle and Capri Sun's Drink Pouch Brigade milestone contest by collecting more than 18,000 drink pouches. They've earned close to $2,000 for their school by collecting the drink pouches. The Drink Pouch Brigade is a free recycling program that rewards people for collecting and sending their waste to TerraCycle to be recycled or upcycled. The Milestone Program began in September 2013 when Capri Sun added prizes for collecting certain amounts. Now, in addition to the money they earn for each piece of waste collected, participants can win prizes made from recycled drink pouches, such as park benches, recycling bins, a playground and other fun rewards.
"The Milestone Program is meant to inspire individuals and organizations to collect more waste while receiving prizes for their achievements," said Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle. "It is rewarding to see the students and administration get so involved in making this work. It's an incredible achievement to have kept so many pouches out of the waste stream."
Thousands of other schools across the United States participate in the Drink Pouch Brigade. To learn more about the program or to sign up, visit www.terracycle.com. The program is free to any interested organization or individual, and all shipping costs are paid. In addition, for each piece of waste received, participants earn money for a charity of their choice.
