TerraCycle : Réduire les déchets en aidant une association

 

A TerraCycle-t 2001-ben alapította a magyar származású Tom Szaky, az akkor húszéves gólya a Princetoni Egyetemről. Az idők során a vállalkozás a világ egyik leggyorsabban növekvő zöld (környezetvédő) hálózatává nőtte ki magát.

“Creating a soda bottle requires huge energy,” says Tom Szaky, CEO and founder of TerraCycle. “Then you drink from it, and it’s only gets one use after all that energy that goes into making it.” “People think that just because it’s plastic it’s recyclable,” says Tom Szaky, CEO and founder of TerraCycle. “I think [the PIC is] one of the most misleading symbols that exists in the recycling system.”

A large gathering is usually where you’ll find them and when you throw the "handy dandy, easy clean up, red solo cups away" the cups will sit in the landfill for 14 years. Back in 2011 TerraCycle and Solo teamed up to create the Solo Cup Brigade, a disposable solution for the millions of single-use cups sold each year. Getting involved is incredibly simple. Individuals, schools, offices, non-profits and pretty much anyone signs up on the TerraCycle website. After you’ve collected plastic Solo cups you return them to TerraCycle, who will recycle them into playground equipment, park benches and outdoor furniture. For every cup received, Solo will donate two cents to Keep America Beautiful or the member’s charity of choice. So you get to help save the environment AND raise profits for a charity. That sounds like a fantastic deal! Want to get involved and start recycling your Solo cups? Find out more by visiting www.TerraCycle.com. By taking this step today we’re taking a step toward a better future.
