TerraCycle collects waste which is normally non-recyclable, such as candy wrappers, chip bags, and juice pouches, and makes hundreds of eco-friendly products with them. This year, almost 60 of the company’s products will be sold in evert Walmart store across the US for the month of April, exposing millions of customers to these unique items, and perhaps sparking some conversations about the life cycle of products and packaging.

You might remember my previous post about
Terracycle’s Big News, and I thought a reminder would be in order.
You only have the month of April to get your own Terracycle goodies, so you’ll have to act fast. Here are the details from
the Terracycle blog:
A whole bunch of brand new TerraCycle items will be available, during April for a limited time only, at every single Walmart across the country. Starting April 5th, nearly 60 TerraCycle products will be sold right next to the original items they were made from. Cheetos kites and tote bags made from Frito-Lay wrappers will be sold with bags of Frito-Lay chips, while notebooks and purses made out of skittles and M&M wrappers will be sold right next to bags of Mars Candy!
M&M’s are one of the most popular candies in the world. Some people like theirs with peanuts, others with dark chocolate, and some prefer theirs plain-old…plain. But not everyone sees these chocolate pieces as mere candy. For a few creative types, M&M’s are inspiration. Whether they use the wrappers or the small chocolaty bites themselves, artists have made many things out of the “melt in your mouth, not in your hand” favorites. Have a look at these seven M&M’s creations, from gowns to portraits.
Using Peanut M&M’s wrappers, artist Christina Liedtke created this impressive gown for TerraCycle’s display of recycled art at New York City’s Port Authority. With this beauty, TerraCycle (a company that makes
eco-friendly products from various nonrecyclable materials) brought candy couture to a whole new level.

A few months back here at Bay Area Bags, I featured billboard bags from terracyle.net and I bet most of us were amazed of how creative these people are. And for the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day, again they are here to surprises us with a lot of new releases that people from all ages would enjoy.
all products will be co-displayed with the original products from which they are made. So notebooks, pencil cases and lunch boxes made from Mars candy wrappers will be displayed with bars of the popular candies and backpacks made from Capri Sun drink pouches will be displayed with boxes of Capri Sun juice! The items are made from the same wrappers that will cover the very food they may hold. All come with trim and handles which match the original logos product. These bags are absolutely as fun and fashionable as they are eco-friendly! Walmart has agreed to carry TerraCycle products in their seasonal section ONLY for the month of April. So we got to hurry and check them out. Visit terracycle.net for complete details.
Starting April 5th, and for a limited time only during the month of April, about 60 TerraCycle items, including a bunch of brand new things never seen before, will be available in every single Wal-Mart across the country (3,500 locations) in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day this year. The products will be sold right next to the original items they are made from. Kites made from Cheetos wrappers will be sold with bags of Frito-Lay chips and backpacks made from drink pouches will be sold next to boxes of Capri Sun. This will help educate consumers about resource conservation and give millions of students who participate in TerraCycle’s Brigades, an opportunity to see their collection efforts come to life!

Thanks to one of the Mega Sales at Kroger, our school is now raking in the pennies. How? By doing something that's good for the environment: recycling.
It all started when I bought five packages of Capri Suns at Kroger to fulfill part of a rebate I was working on. On the back of the package was information about Terracycle <http://www.terracycle.net/> , a company that has kept over 1.2 billion pieces of trash out of landfills while fashioning super cool backpacks, pencil cases, tote bags, trash cans, even cork boards! Even more amazing to me was that they would donate $ .02 per pouch collected, to the school or charity of my choice!
