Um ano depois do início de seu programa de reciclagem, a marca de sucos e refrescos Tang, da Kraft Foods, conseguiu recolher mais de 1 milhão de embalagens de refresco em pó recolhidas pelas Brigadas Tang de Reciclagem, formadas por 1.870 grupos de coletas espalhados pelo País. O projeto criado em parceria com a empresa TerraCycle, especializada em reaproveitamento de resíduos, chegou a 1,0451 milhão de embalagens recolhidas. No primeiro ano, o material reaproveitado deu origem a uma série de quase 50 produtos, como bolas, bolsas, mochilas e estojos.
Here's just one more reason to visit MayFest in Fort Worth this weekend. Garnier is kicking off a packaging collection and recycling program with TerraCycle called the Personal Care and Beauty Brigade and announcing Pure Clean, a new biodegradable hair care line. Mayfest attendees can bring any and all hair care, skin care and cosmetic packaging to the tour vehicle to be recycled by TerraCycle and score some free samples of Pure Clean.
After these tour stops, DFW residents can join the Brigade at TerraCycle.net to send in their personal care packaging from home. The program is free to join and all shipping costs are paid. Even better? TerraCycle pays $.02 for each unit of waste collected to the charity of the collector's choice.
A parceria de reciclagem entre a Nestlé e a TerraCycle deu certo. A Brigada Nestlé Chocolover coletou 130 mil embalagens vazias de chocolates, que foram customizadas em sacolas e bolsas para projetos sociais. O sucesso gerou a abertura de 800 novas vagas para ampliar a campanha no País.

TerraCycle, a pioneering upcycling and recycling company, offers all types of gifts made from recycled and upcycled items that would have otherwise been thrown out and wasted. Many of their products, including tote bags, coolers, journals/notebooks, corkboards, and jewelry can be great gifts for moms.
The tote bags are durable and colorful – perfect for anything from carrying groceries to taking the kids to the beach or park for the day. Coolers, journals and notebooks incorporate plastic packaging from products including Capri Sun and Frito Lay chips. Corkboards are made from wine corks, and could be used to hang up the kids’ schedule or phone messages. Their jewelry is made from recycled silver, which cuts the costs and environmental distress of extraction and processing of precious metals.
Cinco de Mayo 2011 is here, so it’s time to get cooking. This year, use Mission Foods products for your Mexican cooking needs, save the plastic packaging and send it to
TerraCycle to be recycled and “upcycled” into new products. In order to participate in saving the environment this Cinco de Mayo, simply go to the
TerraCycle website at
www.terracycle.net, and join the Tortilla and Tostada bag brigade in order to print out your free shipping label. For every wrapper that you send to the company,
TerraCycle will reward you with two points redeemable towards special gifts or cash donations to the charity of your choice.
