Six Flags Says "Cheese!" Visitors get $15 off general admission at Six Flags St. Louis when they bring specially marked Kraft string cheese packaging to the park entrance. Kraft Cheese and TerraCycle, Inc. have partnered with Six Flags for a summer recycling drive at Six Flags parks across the United States. The packaging will be sent to TerraCycle to be recycled into eco-friendly products, including trash cans, flower pots, plastic plywood, park benches and picnic tables.

There is no such thing as trash for upcycling company TerraCycle <http://terracycle.net/> , who specializes in making new products from hard-to-recycle waste, from used corks to cookie bags. It’s only fitting that its own office is upcycled, too. Check out photos from our tour of its Trenton, N.J. facility.

You thought your eco-crazy neighbor with the composting toilet had gone too far? Trenton-based Terracycle, which already makes tote bags out of old Capri Sun pouches, is developing a process to recycle (yes, dirty) diapers. Admittedly, this is not timed well to a heat wave, but the Scoop just can’t resist a story with this quote: “That’s where the biocide comes in.”

One school that's already recycling is now taking the extra step to reduce even more waste. News 4's Kristen Cornett goes to visit to see how they're going green.

Malt-O-Meal knows how to deliver a timely wakeup call. Through its new Bag The Box movement, the cereal maker wants America to digest some jaw-dropping figures: It takes 345 million pounds of paperboard to make a year’s supply of cereal boxes. That’s equivalent to the weight of 734,747 jumbo jets. And every year, the United States produces 2.3 billion cereal boxes. That’s enough cardboard to build almost three great pyramids. And there’s no reason for redundant packaging that comes with a bag of cereal inside of a box, says the company that packages most of its ready-to-eat cereals in resealable bags.

O outro projeto desenvolvido exclusivamente pela campanha Nobivac® no Brasil é o Com Pouco Fazemos Muito, uma parceria da Intervet / Schering-Plough com a TerraCycle. O objetivo da ação é gerar valor e contribuir para a sustentabilidade a partir da reciclagem das embalagens plástica e de papelão da Nobivac®.
