O Carrefour lançou na França um e-commerce denominado de Loop, com foco na reutilização de embalagens de modo a reduzir os resíduos. O site reúne os esforços de 25 empresas do setor do grande consumo, entre elas: Nestlé, Mars Petcare, Mondelez International, Danone, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola e PepsiCo, além da TerraCycle, empresa especializada em reciclagem.

They presented their findings on a company called TerraCycle, which offers proper disposal of cigarettes for free. Once cigarette waste is collected, it can be shipped to them via UPS.

Next, I survey the survivors. I’m able to pardon a few of my favourites that have recently become fully recyclable thanks to deals with TerraCycle, a U.S. company that specializes in dealing with hard-to-recycle waste. The plastic packaging for both Eos lip balms and Weleda Skin Food products can now be mailed to TerraCycle for free (you just have to sign up online for a postage-paid envelope). I can return my tube of L’Occitane en Provence hand cream and Province Apothecary toner, including the spray pumps, to their respective stores to be taken care of. And, mercifully, a few of the natural skincare brands I love come in recyclable glass bottles, so my serums are safe.

Stephanie Moses from TerraCycle, an independent organization in the U.S. that focuses on recycling “un-recyclable” items, said there isn’t a market for the materials razors are made of.

• Terra Cycle – Did you know that almost anything can be recycled if you make an effort to reuse? From the pens you find in your hotel room, to cigarette waste found on the property, to coffee pods and even the mattresses when they are done supporting your sleep – just about everything at The River Rock is recycled!

The receptacles are to be transported to TerraCycle, a Canadian subsidiary of a company based in Trenton, N.J., that specializes in handling hard-to-recycle material.

Tweed, part of Canopy Growth Corporation, has launched a nation-wide recycling program for used cannabis packaging, a first-ever in Canada. The initiative is in partnership with TerraCycle, a Toronto-based company that gives new life to old plastics.

The Loop™ circular shopping system has officially launched its pilot program in the Mid-Atlantic region of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., and has announced Kroger Co and Walgreens, respectively the country’s largest grocery retailer and one of the largest pharmacy chains, as the founding retailers in the U.S. The news came at a media event held at the offices of The World Economic Forum in New York City May 21.

O Carrefour estreou em França um novo site de e-commerce designado de Loop, no seguimento da iniciativa recentemente lançada por várias grandes multinacionais para testar a reutilização de embalagens de modo a reduzir os resíduos.

"TerraCycle and L.O.L. Surprise! have partnered to create a free recycling program for L.O.L. Surprise! packaging, accessories, and products," states the company on the L.O.L. Surprise TerraCycle page. The recycle service is free for consumers. You just have to create an account at TerraCycle to get started.
