The Flip Flop Replay is a partnership between TerraCycle and Old Navy. By depositing your used flip flops in these eye-catching colorful collection bins found inside any Old Navy store now through Saturday, May 21st, you will be diverting them from ending up in the landfill. TerraCycle will then recycle the flip-flops into playgrounds, which will be donated to communities around the country.
TerraCycle, which was started in 2001 by Tom Szaky, a 20-year-old Princeton University freshman (think Face Book genre) because he identified a niche need: getting rid of stuff that seemingly didn’t have anywhere to go. TerraCycle’s mission is to eliminate waste, period. Zero waste. It can be done, but there is a lot of groundwork that has to be done first, enter you the consumer.
Kraft Foods announced that it also is partnering with TerraCycle, the international upcycling and recycling company that turns packaging wrappers into affordable, eco-friendly products. This summer, all of the Kraft and Polly-O packaging wrappers collected at Six Flags will be upcycled into useful products while saving waste from landfills.
The Belle Aire PTA decided last fall to collect items to send to Terracycle, a national company that makes new green consumer products out of post-consumer materials, such as backpacks created from drink pouches. Terracycle takes in some 100 materials that would normally get thrown in the trash, and Belle Aire formed brigades to collect four of those items: juice pouches, diaper wrappings, food storage containers such as re-sealable sandwich bags, and tape dispenser rolls.
And there are company names on the Inner City 100 that many of us have heard before, including Pandora Internet Radio, of Oakland, Calif. (No. 2), TerraCycle, of Trenton (No. 4), and Angie's List, of Indianapolis (No. 26).

Pepsico, pelas marcas de salgadinhos Doritos e Ruffles, a

The Old Navy stores in Annapolis, Severna Park and Hanover will be collecting used flip flops through May 21 as part of TerraCycle's Flip Flop Replay program.
TerraCycle, a New Jersey-based recycling company, will then take the flip flops and recycle them into playground equipment. Each Old Navy store has a box near the entrance where shoppers can drop off their flip flops.
