{Friday Favorites} Terracycle

Tom Szaky, CEO of Terracycle, grew up watching Captain Planet. In 2001, as a Princeton University freshman he started his company, Terracycle. TerraCycle’s purpose is to eliminate the idea of waste. They do this by creating national recycling systems for previously non-recyclable or hard-to-recycle waste. You can send Terracycle your difficult to recycle waste, and they will turn it into any myriad of items, from handbags to raw materials. Szaky’s story is really inspiring, regardless of setbacks or diversions he has stayed committed to his vision – eliminating waste. In this CNBC video he makes a great point, nowhere in nature is there the idea of garbage, only in the human cycle does garbage exist.

Dairy Tub recycling at the Garwood Library

GARWOOD — Beginning April 2, in addition to clean, empty yogurt cups and lids, the following items may be dropped off at the Garwood Public Library for recycling with Terracyle: Cream Cheese tubs and lids, Ricotta Cheese tubs and lids, Sour Cream tubs and lids, and Butter tubs and lids. Only yogurt containers that are flared at the top are acceptable. Brands with tapered tops, La Yogurt and Yoplait, are not accepted by the company. You may bring the clean, empty items to the Library any time during the Library’s business hours. Please do not place them in the book-drop. The Garwood Library also continues to collect used, empty inkjet cartridges to send to Terracycle for recycling, as well as the dairy tubs.

Palmyra students hope to turn drink pouches into cash

Fourth-graders at Pine Street Elementary School are collecting empty drink pouches for an environmental project. Teacher Tyler Frantz said the students are collecting Capri Sun and Honest Kids pouches to "up-cycle" them. "TerraCycle is a web-based program run by a company that collects consumer products and recycles them," Frantz explained. TerraCycle offers waste-collection programs to turn the collected waste into new products, such as recycled park benches or backpacks. TerraCycle operates around the world, according to the company's website www.terracycle.net. The project started at the suggestion of fourth-grader Faith Coburn's mother, he said. "My mom was reading the back of the Capri Sun box and said, 'Oh, look at that, you could raise money for your school," said 9-year-old Faith. "I think it's cool because then we can keep the pouches out of the landfill and also get money for the school."
