Staples teams with TerraCycle to provide Zero Waste Boxes

Staples is partnering with TerraCycle, the world’s leader in the collection and repurposing of hard-to-recycle, post-consumer waste to provide a zero-waste solution to its customers. Staples customers can now purchase Zero Waste Boxes from the company's website, allowing them to recycle a variety of traditionally non-recyclable household and office waste streams, ranging from coffee capsules to light bulbs. Some of the items consumers can now recycle include candy and snack wrappers, cleaning supplies and accessories, writing utensils, e-waste and mailing, shipping and packaging supplies. “We definitely see an interest from people wanting to recycle beyond what they can do curbside,” says TerraCycle founder and CEO Tom Szaky. “Now, new and existing Staples consumers have this resource that allows them to step up their environmental game.”

Crain students double recycling efforts from previous year

Matthew Hamilton, accompanied by other Crain Elementary School students, stood in front of a classroom answering questions fielded by a marketing account manager about his feelings on recycling. "I'm really nervous," Matthew, 10, said. "Recycling is important to me because one day I was upset because my room was messy and my parents told me if I started recycling, all of it could be gone in a day."
