Leading eco retailer Biome is helping Australians divert hard-to-recycle waste from landfill with the expansion of its in-store and online recycling initiative in partnership with TerraCycle.

Plastic pollution prevention is the action focus for today’s World Oceans Day, a global day of ocean celebration and collaboration for a better future. Changing our behavior towards plastic by reducing our purchases is, much more than recycling, the most effective way to effect change, but actively finding solutions for the plastic we do consume is also important. TerraCycle’s many free programs are sponsored by brands committed to recycling what is still considered difficult to recycle, and we have Zero Waste Boxes for hundreds of plastic items.

Terracycle, des boites zero déchets pour du 100% recyclé. Nous sommes trop nombreux, trop égoïstes, nous consommons trop. et donc nous avons un soucis de déchets … D’autant qu’ils ne sont pas tous recyclés comme ils pourraient l’être ! Tout simplement parce que ça coute cher de trier correctement, et qu’en plus il faudrait avoir plusieurs poubelles … C’est ce que propose TERRACYCLE avec ses boites zero dechet !

TerraCycle has created a zero-waste solution for all our oral care waste.

"Some things are so easy to recycle. Some are such a pain," Migalla said. "These are the most work"... The last thing Migalla put in the garbage was broken glass, about two years ago. She's since learned she can send that to a recycling company in New Jersey called TerraCycle, she said.

In celebration of Earth Day, Amtrak hosted The Great Sort, an event focused on promoting and educating the public  about sustainability, at Philadelphia’s 30th Street Station. At The Great Sort, our Amtrak representatives sorted through station trash to identify the location’s largest source of waste and separate recyclable material. TerraCycle, a local company dedicated to hard-to-recycle waste, joined the event and provided “zero waste” boxes to collect these recyclables and give them a new life.
