A Canadian company says it has discovered a way to recycle cigarette butts. TerraCycle said it will make plastic pallets for industrial use from waste, including butts, cigarette foil and plastic packaging. The paper and remaining parts of tobacco will be composted. "As a company committed to recycling waste streams that others deem worthless or unsavoury, cigarette waste will help to promote our belief that everything can and should be recycled," TerraCycle founder Tom Szaky said in a release.

TerraCycle Canada of Ontario has established a national program aimed at diverting  cigarettes from landfills. An Ontario company is encouraging Nova Scotia to turn discarded cigarette butts into  cash for charities and non-­‐profits. TerraCycle Canada has launched a national campaign to encourage smokes and related  waste to be recycled under a program that started at the end of May.“We want to really spread the message across the country,” TerraCycle spokeswoman  Denise Barnard said Thursday in an interview from Toronto.

L’entreprise canadienne TerraCycle, qui se spécialise dans le recyclage de déchets, a annoncé hier la mise sur pied d’un programme de recyclage des mégots de cigarette. Baptisé «Brigade des déchets de cigarettes», le programme de collecte gra- tuit sera implanté à l’échelle du pays et servira à transfor- mer les mégots de cigarette en palettes de plastique pour usage industriel. TerraCycle recyclera aussi les emballages des paquets de cigarettes ainsi que leurs feuilles inté- rieures en aluminium

D’après le rapport sur les tendances  COTY de 2011, les Canadiens ont dépensé environ 471 687 808 $ en soins du visage et les soins des ongles sont le secteur qui connaît la plus forte progression de ventes durant l’année  2010. Ces chiffres sont en augmentation par rapport à l’année précédente et il y a de fortes chances pour que les ventes de ces types de produits continuent de progresser dans les années à venir – et ceci n’inclut pas les produits cosmétiques, de soins des mains et du corps ainsi que tous les autres produits de soins personnels et de beauté. Mais où est-ce que tous ces produits terminent une fois vides

I was excited when TerraCycle Canada agreed to be part of the Canadian’s Welcome, Eh giveaway because I think the company does a great service to the world by turning trash into such cool things. Although they’ve been around since 2001, I first heard about them when I was flipping through the channels and came across their Garbage Moguls show that was on a few years ago. I loved watching them come up with creative ways to recycle things like old dog food bags into brand new products.  I received their Teddy Grahams tote bag for review, and it’s absolutely adorable. It’s really well made too, with strong stitching that will definitely hold up to whatever you put in there. Plus it wipes clean really easy, making it perfect for the beach or picnics.
