Tucson isn’t able to recycle the Capri Suns that Tri Delta will be using as beverages; however, TerraCycle.net will pay for the shipping of the Capri Suns so they can be recycled.

Recycling has been one of the biggest movements in response to pollution, and dealing with the huge amounts of waste produced by today’s society. Of the biggest problems with recycling is that there are a lot of plastics, and other products that aren’t recyclable yet.

This is where the company Terracycle comes in. Terracycle is a company that collects hard to recycle wastes and either recycles the materials, or upcylces them for new purposes.
