Terra Stone Plant Caddy - all recycled material Made in USA

TerraCycle, http://www.terracycle.net/en-US/, uses recycled plastics to make this attractive plant caddy. I asked the company to send me one so I could take a look at it and try it out. I love the concrete look. And, I especially love the fact that it is as light as a feather and as strong as steel! It measures 1-foot-square (12" by 12"), and holds as much 200-pounds of wet dirt and flower pot.

Pouch brigade: Company turns schools' trash into products, cash

Green Kids: This is the first in an ongoing series about efforts by area students to live greener lives. Some environmentally savvy students in Memphis-area public and private schools are happily helping to turn their trash into treasure. Their efforts at recycling are in conjunction with a company that makes plastic household products for sale. The students are participating in a "drink-pouch brigade" recycling effort through TerraCycle (terracycle.net). The students collect the pouches and send them to TerraCycle, which converts them into usable materials. "(Recycling) is part of their culture now," said principal Bridget Martin of Sacred Heart School in Southaven, one of the participating schools. "Our seventh- and eighth-graders recently had a guest speaker for theology who brought them snacks and soft drinks, and at the end they asked me where the bins for the trash were. They knew not to throw it in the regular trash." The 360 students of Sacred Heart, which belongs to the Catholic Diocese of Jackson, Miss., have been involved with TerraCycle since February 2011, when parent Michelle Stamm and others signed the school up.
