TerraCycle operates in 21 countries, working with some of the world’s largest brands and companies to create national platforms to recycle products and packaging that currently go to landfill or incineration.

It's important to my family that we do all that we can to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum. Ever since my girls were little, we've taught them that there is only one Earth, so we need to do all that we can to keep it healthy. One of the simplest things that we can do each day is recycle whatever waste we can. I keep small bins around the house to put recyclables in, then transfer them to the big outdoor bin when they get full. I believe that recycling is a small thing we can do that makes a big difference in our world and am glad that my family feels this way too.
