According to a recent Tom’s of Maine study, in attempts to declutter and streamline their homes, 55% of parents frequently chuck out old toys, with that waste going directly to landfills. So we’re pretty thrilled that in honor of Earth Month, the company is teaming up with Terracycle to help you and families all over America recycle broken and unusable toys for free! That’s right, they’ll take even those nearly-impossible-to-recycle items like stuffed animals, random puzzle and game pieces, and remote control vehicles.

Os itens recolhidos serão enviados para a TerraCycle, ação ambiental que coleta embalagens de produtos diversos. A partir desses resíduos - de difícil reciclabilidade e que não possuem destinação adequada - são criados produtos verdes.

KENNEBUNK, Maine, April 2, 2015 /Nassau News Live/ — Parents are always looking for ways to teach their children simple lessons that will benefit the planet and make every day Earth Day. With three billion toys purchased in 2014 alone, the challenge of what to do with broken dolls, cars without wheels or stuffed animals coming unraveled is greater than ever. Beginning today, unusable toys that aren’t fit for donating can now find a new home other than a landfill.

At TerraCycle, we have developed collection and recycling programs for capsule waste by partnering with coffee producers such as Tassimo, Nespresso, Mars Drinks, and Illy. For coffee capsule waste not accepted by these recycling programs, we also have the Coffee Capsules Zero Waste Box, allowing anyone to send us any capsule waste for recycling

Sometimes sustainable packaging has less to do with eco-friendly packaging materials and more to do with how we actually distribute product. The bottled water industry, for instances, gets hit with quite a bit of criticism for how much unnecessary bottle waste is generated when most people have access to perfectly clean tap water.
