In his book: "Revolution in a Bottle," Tom Szaky shares how he took "unwanted molecules of industry and created a whole new venture." In simple terms, someone's trash became his treasure. In 2002 Szaky dropped out of Princeton to head up TerraCycle a company known for eco-friendly products made from various non-recyclable products from such major retailers as Walmart, Target, and The Home Depot."

TerraCycle Inc. aims to make money by reusing the hard-to-recycle trash the U.S. produces each year—but it first needs to find out if Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other retailers think there's enough demand for its products.

I went to WalMart yesterday to pick up the terracycling (is that a word?) from their breakroom and was met with Christina who was eager to show me the employee newsletter with the info about TerraCycle.

From pencil pouches made of Capri Sun juice packets to candy wrapper tote bags, TerraCycle is putting the fun back in recycling and even rewarding people for their sustainable efforts.

In fact, for a limited time Walmart is selling the widest range of Terracycle's upcycled products ever.

Lindsay Hetzler discovered a way to turn her daughter Lorelei’s favorite drink into money for her school. By her account, Hetzler buys “a ton” of Capri Sun juice boxes for her family. Last fall while reading the back of one of the drink pouches, Hetzler learned about TerraCycle, a New Jersey-based company that makes eco-friendly products from a wide range of nonrecyclable waste materials. She learned about a free nationwide program offered by TerraCycle called “Brigades” where you can earn money for your school or nonprofit organization by collecting nonrecyclable items and mailing them to the company.

I hadn’t heard ofTerracycle until it made news recently by making a deal with Wal Mart. Until April 29, the national chain will sell Terracycle’s upcycled backpacks, pencil cases and more, right next to the product the new merch was made from. Want a frito lay purse? Hit up the chip aisle. For a Capri Sun backpack, head down to the drink section.

elp our school by saving your drink pouches, candy wrappers, protein bar wrappers,Frito Lays chip bags, yogurt containers (must stack), and cookie wrappers.  We earn money for your trash!!!!

There are new TerraCycle products
- The products are available in every Walmart across the United States (only)
- The products are available during the month of April (only), in honor of the 40th Anniversary of Earth Day this year

Now the products we have saved are being turned into useful products that are available at WalMart in the the month of April.  I purchased mine and you can get yours too!

A whole bunch of brand new TerraCycle items will be available, during April for a limited time only, at every single Walmart across the country. Starting April 5th, nearly 60 TerraCycle products will be sold right next to the original items they were made from. Cheetos kites and tote bags made from Frito-Lay wrappers will be sold with bags of Frito-Lay chips, while notebooks and purses made out of skittles and M&M wrappers will be sold right next to bags of Mars Candy!

I abhor Wal-Mart. Like there are many other activities involving pain or displeasure that I’d rather be involved with that step foot in a Wal-Mart. But I love Terracycle and their products being available at Wal-Mart is good for them.
