Convertir un bolígrafo en un estuche, una papelera o, incluso, una regadera. Con la creación de la Brigada de Instrumentos de Escritura, creada hace tres años, BIC y TerraCycle pueden anunciar hoy el reciclaje de más de 1.000.000 instrumentos de escritura. Gracias a este programa, las organizaciones o particulares participantes recolectan instrumentos de escritura para ayudar a las asociaciones que ellos elijan.

Unsere Zahnarztpraxis in Mauer bei Heidelberg ist die erste Praxis deutschlandweit, die am TerraCycle Sammelprogramm teilnimmt. TerraCycle ist ein Recyclingunternehmen, das schwer recycelbare Verpackungen sammelt und daraus neue, umweltfreundliche Produkte herstellt. In unterschiedlichen Programmen werden die Verbraucher aufgefordert, ihren Müll zu sammeln und an TerraCycle zu schicken. Eine tolle Sache, wie wir finden.

Wir sind zu sechst, es wird Kaffee nur in Bio und fair getrunken, viel Bio gekauft, und über Energiemanagement muss ich mir zumindest im Moment noch keinen Kopf machen. Wenig nachhaltig: alle rauchen und alle trinken Bier. Trägt zumindest zum Spaß in der WG bei. Für das Kippenproblem hat sich auch zufällig eine Lösung gefunden: TerraCycle macht Stummelrecycling, seit heute sind wir ein Sammelteam. Denn das finde ich ja mal eine wirklich gute Idee, aus dem, was zumindest optisch und olfaktorisch mit die größte Verschmutzung darstellt (außer versifften Platiktüten) was Neues zu produzieren.

Already at Green Alley: TerraCycle

The first company located in the renovated factory building in Berlin Wedding is TerraCycle that recycles waste that hasn’t been recycled before. The company provides free waste collection programs for hard to recycle materials like used pens or tooth care products in cooperation with manufacturers like Colgate or BiC.

Such waste is being collected and recycled or upcycled into new products with the aim to reduce the amount of waste. The collection programs exist only through the engagement of consumers who send their waste to TerraCycle for free. For each item sent to TerraCycle, a two cent donation to a charity organization of the collector’s choice will be made.
