Dallas & Mesquite ISD students get green with TerraCycle

Although Earth Day has passed until next year, Dallas schools continue to show their support for the health of the environment, community and their student’s education through working with TerraCycle, Inc., the world’s leader in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable post-consumer waste. TerraCycle re-purposes waste like chip bags, pens and toothbrushes into new eco-friendly materials including recycled fencing and biodegradable flower pots and reusable products like jewel cases.

Going the Distance

Eco-innovator TerraCycle (www.terracycle.net) charted new territory in the consumer goods industry in 2003 with one big idea: How can you eliminate the idea of waste? Back then, the company specialized in worm poop fertilizer packaged in old soda bottles. Its "upcycling" concept soon caught the eyes of consumer good companies small and large, like Honest Tea, Kraft Foods and Clif Bar, who had their own garbage issues to solve.
