Students from Park View Elementary were so excited to receive a new picnic table made with recycled Ebtenmann's Little Bites pouches during Earth Month assembly

The school is a participant in the Drink Pouch Brigade, a free recycling program created by Capri Sun and recycling company TerraCycle that rewards member organizations for collecting drink pouches.

TerraCycle hand-picked the best US Postal Service mail bags used in domestic USPS facilities from 1960 – 1990, and Timbuk2 turned them into small and medium Messenger Bags.

TerraCycle is known for collecting materials that can’t be recycled through traditional curbside recycling programs – like chip bags, water filters and cigarette butts – and turning them into innovative, affordable products. Now with the launch of its Zero Waste Box program, the New Jersey-based company wants to make it easier for businesses to dramatically reduce their waste strea

Once your kiddos have indulged in their favorite snack, they simply send the empty pouches back to Entenmann’s – who even takes care of the shipping costs! For each pouch received, your Brigade^® Collection Group will be awarded TerraCycle points that can be used towards a donation to the organization of your choice.

The school was rewarded with the donation from Entenmann’s for demonstrating excellence in a unique recycling program with partner TerraCycle while learning the importance of reducing waste in the Little Bites “Recycle… Reuse… Replenish” Fully Recyclable Lunch Earth Day assembly.
