But other companies are catching this green fire. The outdoor-outfitting company Patagonia, for example, says any old item bought from Patagonia can be returned for recycling into new fiber or fabric; the company claims to have taken in 45 tons of clothing for recycling – and from this, it has made 34 tons into new clothes. French shampoo-maker Garnier began partnering with the nonprofit Terracycle to offer free collection and recycling of all personal-care and beauty products; bags filled with shampoo bottles could be sent by UPS with Garnier picking up the tab.
Garnier’s Cleaner Greener Tour will be parked at Walmart on Potranco Road! Walmart shoppers can bring any and all hair care, skin care and cosmetic packaging to the tour vehicle to be recycled by TerraCycle, learn about the environmental impact of personal care products, and score some free samples of Pure Clean. Garnier is kicking off a packaging collection and recycling program with TerraCycle called the Personal Care and Beauty Brigade and announcing biodegradable hair care line Pure Clean.
The example of TerraCycle from the US shows how sustainability and charity can go hand in hand. In the US alone, more than 12 million people are already collecting garbage for Terracycle. The company uses it to create new products, such as bags, loudspeakers or cushions.
In the space of only four years, TerraCycle has managed to increase its turnover from 4.5 million euros to an estimated 14 million euros this year. Globally, the company has now set up more than eighty thousand collection points. People are paid for collecting, but then donate the money as a next step. So far, the company has been able to raise more than one million euros for charitable causes.
