Foiled Again (April 24, 2008)
Energy bars are convenient, sure, but what about the 800 million wrappers discarded each year? Now they and other selected junk can be sent to a company that's making big business out of household garbage. The plastic/foil composite wrappers, along with empty juice pouches, will be reincarnated as bags and backpacks on the shelves of Target. Next, old plastic yogurt containers will reappear at Home Depot as planter pots. The formula belongs to TerraCycle, which entices schools and others to collect castoffs in return for a charity donation, then refashions the items for sale in big-box stores. terracycle.net...

Expand Your Eco-Influence (April 18, 2008)
Another idea revolves around the concept of “sponsored waste” as created by TerraCycle, those folks who came up with organic fertilizer made from worm poop and sold in reclaimed containers (yes, it’s real, and it’s spectacular!) TerraCycle now pays schools, non-profits and community groups to collect packaging from partner companies like Capri Sun, Stonyfield Farm and Clif Bar. TerraCycle then upcycles the drink pouches into tote bags and pencil cases, and the yogurt containers into planters. Clif Bar wrappers are molded into a new material to be used to make backpacks and gym totes. Schools can earn from 2 to 5 cents for each container sent in. What a great way to “close the loop”, and get paid doing it!...

Much media ado has been made over TerraCycle — the ingeniously eco-forward company that uses worms to turn organic trash into potent fertilizer sold in reclaimed (hey! Even better than recycled!) pop bottles on superstore shelves. Now TerraCycle is partnering with Stonyfield Farms, Clif Bar and Honest Tea to close the loop on food packaging — a concept they’re calling “ Sponsored Waste.” The plan is to enlist schools, nonprofits and community groups to set up neighborhood packaging collection drives. Participating locations will earn two cents for every pouch, small yogurt container or energy bar wrapper and five cents for each large yogurt container or 20 oz. bottle they send back, with donations made to the nonprofit of the location’s choice. TerraCycle will then “ upcycle ”...

You could also show them what will be done with them, by planting something in one of the containers. It will almost be time to plant lettuce and leafy greens, and start tomatoes and herbs indoors before moving them to outdoor pots or gardens. Chives do well in small containers, and can be used rather quickly after sprouting.

The Wrapper Brigade program will donate 2 cents to charity for every used wrapper collected. Ter raCycle said the used wrappers will be fused and woven into material that will be used to make items such as backpacks and gym totes that will be sold at participating re tailers later this year.
People who sign up for the program at TerraCycle's Web site will receive collection bags that can hold up to 200 wrappers. Participants who mail their collection bags back to TerraCycle can designate what charity they want to support.

"After using TerraCycle on various vegetable plants for one week, the results are clearly visible. Those vegetables that had been sprayed were literally double the size of those that had not been sprayed. Also, we have been trying to grow eggplants for 4 years. For the first time, after using TerraCycle, we have eggplants that are producing fruit. I am very satisfied with this product and anticipate using it in the future."

"I was given a basil plant, whose stem was broken, whose leaves had been served as caterpillar food. This plant, sweet smelling beauty though it was, shook in its own dust as I delicately misted its leaves, its broken stem, its bone-dry topsoil, with Terracycle plant food, gently adding water. . . And three days hence it could stand again, was my little 'greenie'. I rejoiced on a park bench with fresh pesto."
