The popular sandwich bag manufacturer, Ziploc, announced a new initiative to boost recycling across America. SC Johnson, parent company of Ziploc, is looking to cut down on the toll its product is taking on the environment by partnering with TerraCycle.
TerraCycle, a growing recycling and environmental firm, is one of America’s biggest producers of eco-friendly products. In conjunction, the two companies have fostered the Home Storage Brigade. Designed to teach students and their families the importance of recycling Ziploc plastic products, the Home Storage Brigade will off two cents per bag for students to donate to their school.
The scheme has become popular quickly, and SC Johnson is not the only company to participate in the campaign. The Home Storage Brigade will offer collection prizes for almost any packaging such as gum wrappers, candy foil and Scotch tape dispensers.
Students can collect the materials and receive money to be donated to the student’s educational institute. A full list of wrappers available for collection can viewed at the firm’s website. TerraCycle uses disposal plastic products to make educational supplies such as lunch boxes, backpacks and other items.
Schools can visit the programme’s website to sign up for participation. The campaign is available for high school, middle school or elementary schools and aims to help classrooms become more eco-friendly while raising support for educational programmes.
