Waste recycling pioneer TerraCycle, a brainchild of a young Canadian entrepreneur that has grown to become a global leader in the hard-to-recycle waste, has been named a winner of the United Nations (UN)'s Momentum for Change Lighthouse Activity award.

TerraCycle has been named a winner of a United Nations Momentum for Change Lighthouse Activity award. The recognition is for the initiative announced earlier this year with TerraCycle, Procter & Gamble and SUEZ to create the world’s first fully recyclable shampoo bottle made with beach plastic.

The drive down New York Avenue in Trenton is like any other drive down the back roads of one of Rider’s neighboring towns. Old, abandoned body shops line the streets and people linger, having conversations on front stoops. At the end of New York Avenue sits TerraCycle, a recycling company dedicated to making the earth a cleaner place by finding sustainable solutions for everyday products.

The Business Intelligence Group announced the winners in the 2017 Sustainability Awards program. The Business Intelligence Group was founded with the mission of recognizing true talent and superior performance in the business world.

Til november modtager TerraCycle FNs klimapris. Det sker på baggrund af virksomhedens samarbejde med Procter & Gamble og Suez, der sammen har skabt verdens første genanvendelige shampooflaske lavet med strandplast.

Verdens første shampooflaske skabt delvist af strandplast har dansk plast i konstruktionen. Nu har firmaet bag konceptet TerraCycle vundet FNs ”Momentum of Change Ligthhouse Activity” pris. TerraCycle modtager prisen i samarbejde med Procter & Gamble og Suez, oplyser TerraCycle i en pressemeddelelse.
