The program is sponsored by TerraCycle, and Lyons discovered it through a website that offers other recycling programs. She saves the cigarette butts in a Folger's can, triple bagged and exiled to the porch to keep the odor away, and sends them off with a prepaid label when the can is full.
Además, estrenan “El Concurso del Verano” animando a las empresas y administraciones a seguir recolectando durante el periodo estival.
Founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky, Terracycle is an award winning international upcycling and recycling company that collects hard to recycle packaging and transforms them into clean, usable materials and products. Terracycle collects products such as candy wrappers, cigarette butts, chip bags, toothbrushes, old shoes, ewaste, dairy containers and a lot more and then upcycles them into items such as lunchboxes, binders, furniture, notebooks, gift items and more.
I was offered to do review for TerraCycle, a company that collects difficult-to-recycle packaging and products and re-purposes the material into affordable, innovative products. Some of the products they make just amazed me, I love the idea of reinventing old unused items, so I was very excited to be able to review these items.
