Eco-Friendly and Affordable make for the Ideal School and Office Product Line

September 8, 2008, Trenton, NJ - TerraCycle, Inc., the ultimate eco-friendly brand, is expanding its school and office line to include several upcycled solutions to some of the most wasteful products used in education and business. To make these affordable products widely available, TerraCycle sells the line through leading office product retailer, OfficeMax. The eco-affordable line is available at OfficeMax stores nationwide.

Tree Free Paper: Four billion trees are cut down each year for paper production. TerraCycle offers three alternatives, made from Banana Peels, Straw, or Coffee Leaves. For those who would like to try them all, a Variety Pack is also available. These papers are compatible with all laser and ink-jet printers, as well as copy machines. They are made from 100% post consumer materials!

Writing Instruments: TerraCycle offers a variety of pens; some are made from 100% recycled paper, others from 100% recycled plastic. There are also two Biodegradable Plastic pen options, one of which is made from corn-based plastic. No matter which pen you choose, you can be confident you are writing with an earth friendly utensil!

Additionally, TerraCycle makes Used Newspaper Pencils, as well as Used Newspaper Colored Pencil packs with a spectrum of 12 different colors; all are made from 100% recycled newspaper. In stark contrast to TerraCycle’s offering, traditional pencil manufacturing destroys 80,000 trees per year.

Organization: TerraCycle’s Two Pocket Folder is made of 100% recycled material, as are the 5-Tab or 8-Tab Index Dividers for 3-ring binders. The divider goes well the TerraCycle Eco-Binder, which is made from 100% recycled cardboard and 80% recycled steel.

TerraCycle has carved out a specialized and necessary niche by creating affordable and environmentally responsible products, which were the first to carry the Zerofootprint Seal of Approval. Sponsored TerraCycle Brigade collections benefit charities and non-profit organizations with a donation for every piece of trash collected. Giving back to the community is a cornerstone of TerraCycle’s success story.
