TerraCycle® Zero Waste Box™: A Convenient and Sustainable Way to Recycle

The Zero Waste Box™ from TerraCycle is a complete and convenient brand neutral solution which includes the storage, shipping and recycling of a particular type of waste that isn’t currently recycled through local councils or traditional recycling facilities. Simply order a box and place in a convenient location. Fill the box with the accepted waste and when full, return using the pre-paid shipping label already affixed to the box. Instead of going to landfill or incineration your waste will then be turned into pellets and get a second life as a wide range of products reducing the need to extract new raw materials for manufacturing. 

Watch the video, Turn Waste Into Worth, to see how easy and impactful recycling can be with our brandneutral, comprehensive solution. Start recycling today and take a significant step towards a sustainable future.
