A handcrafted Terracycle bracelet by wakami is a meaningful and wonderful gift to give someone this holiday season or any time of the year. This upcycled tent bracelet I received is exquisite.  It is intricately woven with specific attention to detail, and has a cute circular hook/eye type cloth loop fastener bearing the wakami name on it.

The company TerraCycle takes unusual waste like dried pen caps, coffee capsules and even plastic bags used to package food items like Bear Naked Granola. Since the bags are hard to recycle, they work with craftsmen in Mexico to take used and clean Bear Naked bags and turn them into adorable and super strong reusable shopping bags ($9.49; terracycleshop.com).

But as harmful to the environment as they can be (they’re made from a form of plastic that doesn’t degrade easily), butts are recyclable, which is why some cities across the country are tapping a national, mail-in recycling program to eliminate cigarette waste. Salem, Mass., and New Orleans are two such communities that have partnered with TerraCycle,a New Jersey-based company that pays by the pound for cigarette waste.

There are a lot of eco-friendly companies out there, but no other company is quite like TerraCycle.  This company literally takes your garbage and makes practical products such as plant food, backpacks, frames, toys and more! This company pays schools and non-profit organizations for their trash saving 1000's of tons of waste from going to landfills. For every item return, TerraCycle donates 2 cents to the school or charity. This company is so amazing!

What was once used to protect your mail can now be used to protect your email! TerraCycle’s iPad case is made from upcycled USPS mailbags, which are weatherproof and coated inside with gentle ultrasuede to protect your iPad or tablet from any surface damage.

The Buttlers were purchased by the city and local businesses at about $60 a piece. Roylos self-financed a trial run of seven Buttlers last year, and collected about one five-gallon bucket of litter per receptacle. The butts are shipped at no cost to a company called TerraCycle, which converts them into shipping pallets, railroad ties, and benches.

These coasters are the perfect gift for any tech-savvy sustainaperson. TerraCycle is a program through which diverts waste from landfills by asking people simple to send it to them instead.
