I was searching for a green, reusable bag that will allow me to carry it like a purse. I love to take walks in the fresh air, and sometimes I find myself walking to a Department store a little less than a mile away, so I needed a bag that was durable, spacey, and had shoulder straps. I found the perfect bag, The Drink Pouch Messenger Bag by TerraCycle ! This bag had it all, shoulder straps, durability, awesome space, and the best of all, its made from everyday recycled products!

Foi pensando nisso que a Coppertone lançou o projeto Brigada Coppertone Protetores do Planeta, um programa que coletará embalagens de protetor solar vazias, independente do tamanho e da marca, e transformará novamente em matéria-prima, substituindo material virgem e evitando que mais recursos naturais sejam extraídos. Essa matéria prima poderá ser usada na produção de novos materiais a base de plástico.

Recycler pour diminuer les déchets et se payer un voyage pédagogique

Die Schüler der Grundschule Haßbergen streben eine abfallfreie Schule an und gewannen mit ihrer Stifte-Recyclingbox 300€ für ein Umweltprojekt. Stifte finden in jeder Bildungseinrichtung Anwendung, doch einmal leer, landen sie ohne weiteren materiellen Nutzen in Müllverbrennungsanlagen. Das Recycling-Engagement der Grundschule Haßbergen gibt leeren Schreibgeräten und Korrekturmitteln ein zweites Leben als Rohstoff für neue Produkte. Für jeden Stift, den die Schüler und Lehrer sammeln und an das Recycling- und Upcycling-Unternehmen TerraCycle senden, erhält die Grundschule Haßbergen 2 Cent als Spendenbeitrag für eine gemeinnützige Organisation ihrer Wahl gutgeschrieben. Jetzt haben die Schüler den ersten Bastelwettbewerb für die kreativste Stifte-Recyclingbox gewonnen und erhalten 300 € für ein Umweltprojekt an ihrer Schule.

TerraCycle offers support for stores that sign up for snack bag, candy wrapper recycling.

Each year, millions of these wrappers and bags are needlessly discarded and end up in landfills.

TerraCycle collects more than 40 kinds of products and packaging.

Here is some information that may help you to weigh the opposing benefits and risks:
