A representative from Terra Cycle, who partners with Capri Sun, to help recycle Capri Sun pouches, stopped by and helped us make a tote bag. My first experience with making a Capri Sun bag was interesting.

Roos Dedulle startte vorig jaar met het recycleren van balpennen, vulpennen, drukpotloden, rollerpen, kleurstiften, fineliners, markers en correctieproducten (vloeistoffen en tapes) via TerraCycle’s BIC Schrijfwaren Brigade. Zo ontvangt ze een donatie voor elke doos oude schrijfwaren die ze opstuurt. De oude pennen worden gerecycleerd tot een gieter of prullenbak. Het geld gaat integraal naar een schooltje in Tsangano (Malawi). De schoolkosten van de weeskinderen in dat dorp worden met de donatie betaald. Verschillende organisaties helpen Roos met de inzameling. Ook in CVOWW staat een roze doos in onze pauzehoek (Stationsstraat 25 te Ieper) om jullie oude pennen, stiften en correctors in te zamelen, ongeacht het merk of materiaal. Meer info: info@cvoww.be

La Mairie de Les Forges a créé son équipe de collecte de mégots en novembre 2013. Les mégots collectés dans les cendriers aux alentours de la Mairie (cendriers et boîtes) sont désormais envoyés à TerraCycle au lieu d'être mis dans la poubelle avec les déchets ultimes.

SMOKERS can now send dirty ashtray contents through the mail in a recycling deal struck with Australia Post. Households, restaurants, other businesses and community groups are being urged to stash butts, ash, inner foils and outer packaging in secured plastic bags or containers before dispatching sealed boxes to a recycling specialist free of charge.

TerraCycle is a New Jersey-based upcycling firm that collects “difficult-to-recycle packaging and products” from organizations like schools and repurposes the waste into new sellable products, according to its website. The Georgetown University Student Association Senate passed a bill establishing a Georgetown TerraCycle collection program.

Sign up for cash back programs – Sign up your school for the TerraCycle program – if it’s not already registered – and have your children recycle their Little Bites pouches each lunch hour. Visit www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades.html to find a listing of other lunch items TerraCycle collects.

One such program is The Recycle...Reuse...Replenish Earth Day Campaign which encourages school children to recycle their Entenmann’s Little Bites Pouches with TerraCycle, resulting in cash back to the school.

This year, as Earth Day approaches April 22, schools can organize aluminum can drives and participate in cash-for-schools programs based on recycling lunch packaging. One such program is The Recycle...Reuse...Replenish Earth Day Campaign which encourages school children to recycle their Entenmann’s Little Bites Pouches with TerraCycle, resulting in cash back to the school.
