Terracycle & You

During the week the kids have asked some interesting questions: who was the first person to recycle, how do animals recycle and what are people doing to recycle. Today at Kids Go Green camp the kids learned about Terracycling. A student at Princeton University started Terracycle in 2002 with an organic product-worm poop-in recycled soda bottles. The idea of reusing products and repurposing items has grown into a successful industry. What terracycle does is recycle items that would normally be put in the trash. Some terracycle materials are made into other products and some are modified and reused. Millions of products are shipped to their facilities around the world for sorting and processing. The terracycle headquarters is in Trenton New Jersey. At terracycle they have all repurposed materials in their offices and experiment with giving what would have been trash a new life.
