The North Face company is doing its part to help reduce plastic waste from ending up in landfills.
The global supplier of outdoor apparel, footwear and equipment has partnered up withTerraCycle, a pioneer in the world of recycling, to keep plastic polybags — commonly used to protect outdoor apparel in distribution and shipping — out of landfills. The material instead would be recycled into plastic lumber, bike racks, kitchen utensils and other reusable products.
The program was spearheaded by “Leaders for the Future,” a group of sixth-graders at Lawrence Intermediate School.
The “
Leaders for the Future,” a group of sixth-graders at Lawrence Intermediate School (LIS), spearheaded a recycling program at Lawrence Intermediate School. The students began the planning stages in January during a two-day character education program, sponsored by State Farm Insurance.
Students developed a plan of action to reduce the amount of trash from the cafeteria and individual classrooms by setting out bins in the lunch room to collect Capri Sun drink pouches and Frito-Lay chip bags. The leadership group packaged the recycled goods and sent them to TerraCycle in Trenton, N.J.
