Premiums and promotional packaging specialist Supremia has announced that it has hired TerraCycle to collect and repurpose cotton bags that Supremia is no longer using.
Previously, Supremia would either burn or send to landfills the bags it was no longer using. The bags were samples that had been produced for trial, but could not be donated because they were branded.
TerraCycle collects the bags and combines them with other cotton products to convert them to low-end yarn called “shoddy.” Shoddy is sold in bulk for use in applications such as insulation or padding in products such as furniture or exercise equipment.
Boston Terrier Rescue Canada has won a new bench made from recycled plastics through this year's "Recycling Revolution" collection contest, courtesy of Hain Celestial, one of Canada's largest producers of organic and natural food products, and Toronto-based recycling company TerraCycle Canada.

Anualmente são produzidas milhões de esponjas, que por terem um tempo indeterminado de decomposição, podem causar grande impacto ambiental quando descartadas incorretamente. Pensando nesta questão, a marca Scotch-Brite da 3M se uniu à TerraCycle para criar o Programa Nacional de Reciclagem de Esponjas, voltado à coleta e processamento desse resíduo.
Esponja é um item que todos usamos em casa e, por higiene, devemos trocá-la sempre, o que resulta em muitas unidades utilizadas por ano. O que pouca gente sabe é que a esponja pode ser reciclada.
The national recycling competition is run by Colgate and global recycling pioneers TerraCycle, a company which creates new products from the waste. With the garden set competition the hope is to promote gardening and healthy eating among schools, as well as showing how recycled materials can be used as a sustainable alternative to virgin plastic.
If you're overdue for a fresh toothbrush (which, if you're like
most Americans, you are), you may find yourself puzzling over what to do with the brush that's been sitting on your bathroom sink for the past several months. It is recyclable, but if you recycle it with the rest of your plastics it will ultimately be sorted out and sent to a landfill. To make sure most of the materials in your toothbrush get reused,
Lifehacker reports that you need to send it to a special recycling center.
The Colgate Oral Care
Recycling Program, a collaboration between Colgate and TerraCycle, accepts not just old toothbrushes but used toothpaste tubes and dental floss containers as well. These items are each made from multiple types of materials, which means they can't be processed by your town's regular recycling plant.
