We recently had the chance to review a great selection of back-to-school supplies from Terracycle:
"TerraCycle® offers supplies that allow students to express their personalities while also care for the environment. TerraCycle, a recycling and upcycling company, uses traditionally non-recyclable items to create a variety of cool, eco-friendly school supplies."
The medium size Messenger Bag is made of recycled Honest Kids pouches. It is really cute and has an adjustable strap. It is a good size for a younger kiddo's back pack or an older kiddo's tote bag.
This cool pencil case is larger than most with ample space for pens, pencils, compass, protractor and more! It is made up of recycled Capri Sun packages and is pretty durable.
This cool one-of-a-kind coin pouch is made from a retired US Mail Bag! How cool is that:) It features a zipper closure and is great for carrying lunch money or other small items. What a fashion statement!ABCD Diaries loves the Terracycle's message of recycling and reusing and we give these fun back-to-school products an A+!
