Anyone who packs a bagged lunch for a school-aged child knows that the Ziploc sandwich bag is for much more than just sandwiches. A regular packed lunch can have many, many Ziplocs, holding items such as sandwich, chips, carrot sticks, strawberries, and cookies. After lunch, all of these bags just end up in the trash. TerraCycle to the rescue!
