TerraCycle's Green Up Shop in New York City is profiled in a Japanese magazine.

Terracycle, a company specializing in eco-friendly products, opened their Green Up Shop at the Port Authority in NYC. The products don’t incorporate circuits, sensors, or motorized parts, but they can provide you with some nifty ideas for upcycled materials and sustainable textiles. The creators of the products make sustainability look easy. Surely, you can step it up a notch and integrate some wearable tech!

Opening last week in NYC, TerraCycle has created a pop-up retail space filled with products made from reclaimed waste materials.  It is the worlds largest green pop-up store to date. The store sells NJ-based TerraCycle’s full line of over 100 products made from recycled and reclaimed materials such as chip bags, food wrappers, yogurt cups, glue bottles and writing instruments. The store also sells their plant and garden supplies including plant food made from worm poop. All the fixtures in the store are made from found items like old doors, fire extinguishers, and salvaged seating.

Have you heard about TerraCycle?  It's a really cool concept for those items that you throw in the trash that can't be recycled.  TerraCycle upCYCLEs it.  They turn it into eco-friendly products that are reasonably priced. The backpack featured is only $12.99.

I just came back from the Terracycle Green Up Shop and boy am I inspired.

Conveninently located next to the Port Authority on 41st Street & 8th Avenue, it is an awesome display of  eco friendly items to be used at home, in class, on the go or even the runway.

Yes darlings, there is an entire dress made from m&m candy wrappers that is fabulous, and tons of other clothing items made from bamboo and salvaged fabric.

I am super inspired to keep making my bags and branching out into other items.Maybe next year you will see “smartalecky” in the Green Up Shop!

There was a time when the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan was little more than place to catch a bus. Things are changing, however, for the terminal—once listed as one of the 10 ugliest buildings in the world—and TerraCycle's new store in Blank SL8 is part of that change. In addition to a full range of TerraCycle products, the store will feature items from RESTORE Clothing, RePlayGround, and many others. One percent of all sales will be donate to Riverkeeper, the leading clean water advocate for New York. TerraCycle will also use the space to collect 30 different non-recyclable waste-streams—transforming it into the largest upcycling center in the world. Consumers who bring waste to the store will receive a discount on the products they purchase
