I was recently introduced to TerraCycle, an eco-friendly company that "upcycles" would-be trash into products like bags, backpacks, lunch boxes, pencil cases, coolers, and more. What a great concept! These products are unique and sure to be a conversation starter. Recently the TerraCycle Drink Pouch Brigrade Progam reached a huge milestone by saving 50 million drink pouches from being put in landfills and contributing one MILLION dollars to schools and non-profit organizations!
The Capri Sun beverage brand was one of the earliest supporters of TerraCycle and their Drink Pouch Brigade. The Brigade takes place mostly in schools and is found in 42% of schools across the country. Children choose to deposit used pouches in special receptacles rather than throw them away. In participating schools, each used drink pouch collected and sent to TerraCycle earns two cents, with the funds going toward needed educational programs and resources. Over the past two years, students and teachers at over 30,000 schools nation wide have collected 50 million drink pouches for the program resulting in the 1 million dollars milestone donation!
