In an effort to further reduce waste, TerraCycle Inc. and Old Navy are partnering in a month-long drive to collect used flip flops and recycle them into materials for four public playgrounds around the country. The community is encouraged to participate by stopping by an Old Navy store to deposit used flip flops in designated collection bins. The program will run through May 21. The Dubuque Old Navy store is at Asbury Plaza, 2465 Northwest Arterial.

Just becauses Earth Day is over, doesn't mean we should forget about living more eco-friendly lives. Stay excited, because today I am bringing you an awesome company, Terracycle. Have you ever realized that waste doesn't exist in nature? All materials are reused or recycled through natural processes. However, modern human society and technology has created a massive waste issue. The creation of complex plastic polymers during and after the Industrial Revolution broke the closed-loop, sustainable system that had existed on Planet Earth. Now the irrepressible demand for safe, conveniently packaged consumer goods is annually creating billions of tons of non-recyclable or difficult to recycle waste. That is where TerraCycle comes in. This company was the ambitious dream of a college freshman turned sustainable business pioneer, a company that makes eco-friendly, affordable consumer products from waste. By using the trillions of pieces of packaging that go to landfill every year to build high quality consumer goods, TerraCycle hopes to replace the need to create virgin materials, like new plastics and textiles, by showing the world it is more sustainable and more profitable to use waste as a raw material.

In an effort to further reduce waste, TerraCycle Inc. and Old Navy are partnering in a monthlong drive to collect used flip-flops and recycle them into four public playgrounds around the country. Shoppers can deposit used flip-flops in designated collection bins at any Old Navy store through May 21.

Bring your worn out, broken, or just plain painful flip-flops to the store any time until May 21. An international recycling company is collecting used flip-flops at all Old Navy clothing stores until May 21. The program started on Earth Day. The flip-flops will come out on the other end as ground covering for public playgrounds—those rubber-like surfaces that save teeth, knees and arms when children take a fall. Betsy King, the district manager for Old Navy in the St. Louis region, said that four playgrounds will be built and filled with the recycled flip-flops. King said there's no word yet on which communities those playgrounds will be built in.

Cualquier instrumento de escritura (bolígrafo, pluma, rotulador, corrector, marcador fluorescente, etc, sin importar la marca del fabricante o el material del que estén hechos) puede ser reciclado. Y con este proyecto, no sólo colaboras con el medioambiente: por cada instrumento de escritura entregado, el proyecto dona 0,02 euros a Fundación Talita.

Of all the shoes you own, it's probably easiest to part with nasty old flip-flops. You didn't pay much for them to begin with, so you don't think twice about tossing them in the trash when they're broken or worn out. But you should think twice. Especially now that you can recycle your flip-flops at any Old Navy store! In an effort to further reduce waste, Old Navy has partnered with TerraCycle, Inc., in a month-long drive to collect used flip-flops and recycle them into four public playgrounds around the country. Stop by any Old Navy store between now and May 21 and deposit your used flip-flops into designated collection bins.

Friday was Earth Day, but there is still time to participate in planet-friendly do-goodery. At Old Navy locations across the country, including here in St. Louis, you can drop off flip-flops to be recycled into playground equipment. (It's no matter if you're dropping them off because they're old and worn out, or if you've finally come to your senses and realized flip-flops are a hideous abomination that should never see the light of day. Old Navy will help turn them into fun for kids either way.) The retailer is partnering with New Jersey-based TerraCycle, a company that specializes in recycling or reusing hard-to-recycle items. In the past, they've collected pens and turned them into trash cans and desk organizers and reworked Capri Sun drink pouches into bags. Megan Yarnall, publicist for TerraCycle, tells us that the flip-flops are shredded and pelletized, and then the plastic is made into playground equipment. "We're going to donate these playground structures to four communities across the country," Yarnall says. The communities haven't been chosen yet, and the collection drive runs until May 21. "It can be any brand, any kind of flip-flop. Not just Old Navy," she says. So you have no excuse. Get those disgusting things out of your closet, but don't landfill them, either. It's a win-win.

Hazleton, Luzerne County - Your old, beat-up flip-flops could get a new life. Old Navy stores across the country have started their first-ever flip-flop recycling drive. People at the Laurel Mall store tossed their old flip-flops. The company partnered with a New Jersey based recycling company to collect the summer sandals. "They will be kept out of the landfills and they're actually going to be made into safety flooring for playgrounds," said Old Navy Merchandising Specialist, Lisa Molendini. Flip-flops can be recycled at the Laurel Mall Old Navy location until May 21st.
