Visitors who bring specially marked Polly-O String Cheese packaging to Six Flags will receive $15 off general admission any day of the week, or a free kids ticket with purchase of general admission on a weekday. Six Flags and Kraft have teamed up with TerraCycle to collect and recycle the cheese packaging. Normally, this packaging is not recyclable in most areas of the country , and this is the first time it will be recycled! TerraCycle will make the packaging into eco-friendly plastic products including trash cans, flower pots, plastic plywood, park benches, and picnic tables. Visitors can continue recycling packaging that is usually non-recyclable by signing up for TerraCycle's Brigade program, through which these items are collected. For every piece of trash that a Brigade sends in, they will receive two points, which can be put towards a specific charity gift or converted to cash and donated to the participant's charity of choice.

Have you ever watched a movie that really inspired you? Well, for some reason, when i'm watching my daughter's cartoons, I always get inspired. Maybe it's because i'm still a big kid myself. The first time I watched Wall-E, I really sat down to think if the world was like that for our great grand kids. Would you want them to miss out on our traditions because the earth was so polluted that they couldn't live here anymore? So many people don't recycle and don't even care to and it's a scary thought for the world to be overrun by trash. You have to think, people have had trash since day one. And unless it's been burned, it's still here somewhere decomposed on this earth. If we don't start trying to recycle more, we are going to run out of space to put trash! And that's where Terracycle comes in. They take ordinary things like chip bags and turn them into reusable items like hanging planters! I was lucky enough to review one of their hanging planters and honestly, you couldn't even tell if was recycled! It was very sturdy and my Zinnias are loving it! So you're looking to help recycle items and save the earth, look no further than Terracycle!

A ampliação da parceria vai incentivar a coleta de embalagens de café (sachês) e de biscoitos pós-consumo. O objetivo é dar um destino sustentável a esses materiais, permitindo que sejam reaproveitados na fabricação de novos produtos, como bolsas, sacolas, mochilas, estojos, utensílios para cozinha, vasos de plantas, displays de ponto de venda, entre outros. Os itens serão comercializados pela TerraCycle no e-commerce do Wal-Mart e no site da Gift Express.

Termo bastante usado no universo da sustentabilidade, o “upcycle”, que nada mais é que reutilizar materiais que iriam para o lixo  sem usar processos químicos da reciclagem, é um dos braços “verdes” favoritos de designers e da gente ligada à moda.
