Another PS product maker, Solo Cup Co. of Lake Forest, Ill., also launched a recycling initiative last month, teaming with TerraCycle Inc. of Trenton, N.J., which works with schools and nonprofits to recycle snack-food packaging. Solo will make a 2-cent donation to schools, nonprofit groups or Keep America Beautiful for each trademarked Solo Squared PS drinking cup that is collected and sent, at Solo’s cost, to TerraCycle, which turns the recycled material into benches, playground equipment and other outdoor products.

I was contacted by Sprout and Terracycle to let my readers know about an exciting contest they are holding.  The details are below! Sprout, the organic baby food brand co-founded and created by Executive Chef and father, Tyler Florence, and TerraCycle, the world’s leader in the collection of non-recyclable and difficult-to-recycle packaging, are thrilled to announce the Protecting the Planet for Baby contest! Sprout and TerraCycle are asking parents WHY they are protecting the planet for the sake of their children. Maybe Mom was really inspired by a trip to Yellowstone and wants her baby to have the same experience? Maybe Dad struggles with asthma and is wants his daughter to have cleaner air to breathe? The reasons and ways parents are going green are wide and varied, but TerraCycle and Sprout want to hear about them all! Email contest@teams.terracycle.net and tell us about it, in 250 words or less, for the chance to win a month’s supply of Sprout Organic Baby Food, a TerraCycle bag, and $100 for a green project. Three runner-ups will receive prize packs, too! For more info, please see HERE.

A Intervet/Schering-Plough Animal Health anuncia a unificação do portfólio de vacinas para Nobivac®, que a partir de agora será uma marca mundial. No Brasil o nome da vacina Quantum® deixa de existir, passando a ser chamada de Nobivac® – porém com a mesma fórmula. O objetivo da mudança está na confiança da marca estabelecida em alguns mercados do mundo, que enfatiza a habilidade da Nobivac em promover laços afetivos entre os donos e seus animais, Médicos Veterinários, companhia e clientes.

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.

Diferente da reciclagem tradicional, que destrói material descartável para transformá-lo em um novo produto, o chamado upcycling agrega valor ao que seria inutilizado sem a necessidade de qualquer processo químico.

Jag har fått information om att Ella’s Kitchen nu samarbetar med TerraCycle för att återvinna  barnmatsförpackningar och jag tycker att det låter som en bra grej så jag vill gärna tipsa om detta.
