Recycling used to be so simple: aluminum cans, glass bottles, newspapers and paper bags. The sheer amount of disposable items has turned a garbage problem into a garbage crisis, says Tom Szaky, founder and chief executive of TerraCycle. The company's mission is recycling the previously unrecyclable, such as cigarette butts, contact lenses and chewing gum.
A 3M instalou 11 pontos de coleta do Programa Nacional de Reciclagem da Scotch-Brite® nas lojas do Supermercado Pinheiro, localizadas nas cidades de Fortaleza, Aracati, Quixadá, Limoeiro do Norte, Sobral e Itapipoca, no Ceará.
Para fazer o descarte ambientalmente correto, basta levar as esponjas, de qualquer marca e tamanho, até as lojas. O material coletado é transformado em matéria-prima para a fabricação de novos produtos de plástico, como baldes, lixeiras e pás de lixo. Além disso, as esponjas enviadas para a reciclagem geram uma doação de recursos financeiros para ONGs e escolas públicas.

Switch: Look on TerraCycle to see if there is a scheme that will accept your trash.

“The RAI Group supports the Keep America Beautiful Cigarette Litter Prevention Program and one of its operating companies has a partnership with TerraCycle, which lets adult volunteers across the country collect cigarette butts and send them to TerraCycle, where they are combined with other recyclable materials to make useful, earth-friendly items such as lumber, furniture, containers and more,” said Kaelan Hollon, the senior director of communications for Reynolds American. “To date, this partnership program has collected more than 100 million pieces of cigarette waste, an estimate based on 1 pound of cigarette waste being equal to 1,000 cigarette butts.”
