Despite the rise of recyclable packaging for beauty and personal care products, only half of US consumers responsibly dispose of these products. To boost bathroom recycling, beauty brand Garnier has teamed up with TerraCycle and DoSomething.org to launch the second year of Rinse, Recycle, Repeat, a national recycling campaign and college campus competition that aims to educate young people on how to responsibly recycle their beauty and personal care products. Through the campaign, Garnier hopes to divert 1 million empty personal care products from landfills by the end of 2018.

Tom Szaky Founder and CEO, TerraCycle “In our industry, there are several topics of discussion at the moment. Top of mind is China’s import ban on recyclable materials (the "green sword") that is wreaking havoc on the recycling industry. China, which used to be the primary export market for recycled plastic, has effectively blocked all future importation. There are certainly going to be some short-term effects on materials recovery here in the U.S., and it could mean materials that would have been recycled will now be landfilled or incinerated. It will be interesting to see how the U.S. and other countries respond and what the long-term impact will be. I will say, China’s stance does provide a great opportunity for innovation here and elsewhere.”

Musicians can bring any old instrument strings for recycling and get their electric or acoustic guitars restrung with D’Addario NYXL or Nickel Bronze Acoustic strings.

Trash seems to be an inevitable part of life in our modern culture. But is it possible to reduce your garbage by half? How about 75 percent … or even all of it. New Jersey has always been in the forefront of trash reduction. In April 1987, this state we’re in became the first in the nation to require recycling. But some people are going further.

As with most industries today, one of the personal care and beauty category’s fastest growing influences on consumer purchasing behavior are claims for sustainability. Sustainable sourcing of raw materials in cosmetics and “clean beauty” formulas are gaining popularity, and many cosmetics manufacturers and retailers have launched “take-back” recycling initiatives for packaging as the majority of cosmetics and skin care packaging, though all technically recyclable, is considered “difficult-to-recycle.”

TerraCycle US Inc., the U.S. subsidiary of TerraCycle, Inc., announced that its $25 million Regulation A Offering has been qualified by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), thereby allowing anyone the opportunity to invest in the innovative recycling company. “Our mission at TerraCycle is to eliminate waste, recycle the unrecyclable and use our innovative business solutions to minimize human impact on the planet,” said TerraCycle chief executive officer Tom Szaky.
