A TerraCycle estimula a formação de "brigadas de coleta” e cria, a partir de diferentes resíduos, produtos, como bolsas, guarda-chuvas, jogos americanos, porta-lápis etc. O envio, é feito pelos Correios com selo emitido pelo próprio site da empresa (terracycle.com.br).
La campaña también ayudará a recaudar dinero para asociaciones y escuelas.
BIC, el gran fabricante mundial de bolígrafos, y la compañía pionera de reciclaje TerraCycle se han asociado para poner en marcha un programa de recogida de bolígrafos en los lugares donde éstos más se utilizan: colegios, universidades y empresas.
Lee Elementary School students turned juice pouches into pencil cases, chip bags to lunch boxes and candy wrappers into backpacks as part of a national initiative that combines fundraising and recycling.
Students collected nearly 6,000 pieces of non-recyclable waste, such as bags, wrappers and bottles, and shipped them to TerraCycle, a company that makes new products from lunchroom garbage.
TerraCycle turns food packaging destined for the landfill into products for home, school and the office. The company’s tote bags, trash cans, picture frames and more are made from the waste and sold at major retailers like Target, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Home Depot.
Schools are paid two cents for each piece of waste, earning Lee Elementary $120. Hundreds of schools across the state participated, collecting 1,261,712 pieces of waste and earning nearly $25,000.
Schools can send their lunchroom waste to TerraCycle by printing pre-paid shipping labels from the Web site. For more information, visit

Girl Scout Troop 1126 helped reduce waste at Oak Meadow Elementary School in El Dorado Hills, all while raising money for school supplies for homeless children.
The troop of fifth-grade girls recently completed a year-long Journey program exploring electricity and energy savings. The troop chose to participate in the TerraCycle program as its final project. TerraCycle helps eliminate waste by creating national recycling systems for previously non-recyclable or hard-to-recycle waste.
Troop 1126 collected juice pouches, which go to TerraCycle to be recycled into various products from tote bags and pencil cases to plastic lumber and pavers. The troop will redeem TerraCycle points, valued at one cent per point, to be used for their charitable gift supporting school supplies for homeless children.
The troop members described their journey and final project as “awesome, fun, exciting, amazing and cool.”
“We are really proud of what we’ve done,” said Madelyn Minami of their efforts to help clean up the environment and support children with school supplies.
“We really wanted to help kids our age,” said Anna Slojkowski.
As part of their final project the girls publicized their effort on campus, collect juice pouches each day following the lunch periods, weighed the pouches and packaged them up to send to TerraCycle.
Troop 1126 members hope to continue this effort once they leave Oak Meadow for middle school, by handing off the project to another younger troop on the campus.
Mégots de cigarette, capsules de café, recharges de savon… Ces produits sont désormais recyclables, grâce à Terracycle.
El Centro Formación Somorrostro ha colaborado a lo largo de todo el año con el Proyecto Terracycle. El objetivo es reducir los residuos que acaban en los vertederos e incineradoras, convirtiéndolos en nuevos productos económicos y respetuosos con el medio ambiente, lo que reduce el empleo de nuevas materias primas y minimiza el impacto ambiental.
