Forget, for a moment, the concerns about all the candy most kids carted home from trick-or-treating. Push aside, if you will, the worries about tooth decay, childhood obesity and those extended sugar highs. What about all those wrappers? TerraCycle - a company that hates waste and that has made dealing with it a quirky, funky mission - will gladly take them off your kids' sticky little hands. The New Jersey company is known for its "brigades" in schools and at other nonprofits. These teams collect juice pouches, potato chip bags and more - dozens of otherwise "trash" items - and then send them to TerraCycle, which pays two cents per item.

You may be a pro at squeezing out that final glob of conditioner, the last smear of mascara and the remaining drops of perfume, but do you have an environmentally responsible solution for trashing the empty container? Now you do, thanks to TerraCycle's new Beauty Brigade. Since 2001, TerraCycle has worked to enable responsible disposal and repurposing of difficult-to-recycle products: diapers, cork, laptops, etc.

Tang se sumó al Kids Chice Awards Argentina 2011 y premió en el marco del evento a la Brigada Ganadora del Programa de Reciclaje que la marca llevó a cabo junto con la firma Terracycle. Los actores María del Cerro y Benjamín Amadeo, fueron los encargados de entregar el premio a los diez ganadores, integrantes de la Brigada Bricker, que logró recolectar 32.000 sobres de Tang para fabricar productos reciclados. Durante la divertida jornada, María y Benjamín usaron un saco y una bandolera confeccionados con sobres de Tang, sumándose a la movida del reciclaje. Además, los ganadores disfrutaron de la exclusiva Tang Re-mixer, la máquina gigante para jugar y mezclar los distintos sabores de Tang Remix.

No matter what kinds of beauty and personal care products you like to use, there’s a good chance you could also use some of those same products to do something good for the environment. TerraCycle is a company that specializes in creating consumer products from post-consumer materials. Garnier, a brand owned by L’Oreal, is partnering with TerraCycle, who is collecting packaging from Garnier and Maybelline beauty products and recycling it, using it to create eco-friendly playgrounds all over the United States. If you use Colgate Wisp and Colgate Oral Care products, TerraCycle is also recycling packaging from those items and creating cool items out of them, like Colgate cosmetics cases, coin pouches, toothbrush cases, and a really nifty retro duffle bag.
