He likes this flavour, I like that. I used to take one to work each day. Then I decided we could buy one litre of yoghurt. One container, less packaging. Which we CAN recycle. Works for us ;~)<br /><br />Glad they have begun to recycle tetrapak in South Africa. We drink a lot of boxed fruit juice.<br /><br />None of these recycling initiatives work, unless we can and do buy the recycled product. I'm disconcerted by US gardeners using crushed glass, as mulch in the garden.

In addition to the usual items we can recycle plastic grocery bags and some food containers. We also have "clean green" recycling which mean collecting all our plant debris and then selling it back to us as Clean Green Compost :-)Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433116418603812108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-44887748753044886862011-09-12T21:08:10.738+01:002011-09-12T21:08:10.738+01:00It looks like a good idea, but like Janet, I would...It looks like a good idea, but like Janet, I would find it difficult to participate. Also, what is the carbon footprint of recycling the items collected?

The bit about 5kg batches is also what made me think it's aimed more at community groups rather than individuals. However, it is a step in the right direction and I can see schools and charities finding it a useful source of income.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-25448310156149141632011-09-12T13:14:53.013+01:002011-09-12T13:14:53.013+01:00I love the TerraCycle concept, but was a bit disap...I love the TerraCycle concept, but was a bit disappointed to see that most of the things I might be interested in buying aren't currently available. Guess they are waiting for enough of the raw materials. But. Of the products they are currently collecting we could only feasibly contribute to the writing instruments one, but there they suggest waiting until you have 5kg worth! Brilliant for, say, a school or large office, not so great for an individual. Still, great idea, and I'll keep an eye out for when they widen their range of "brigades" (such a martial name!).Janet/Plantaliscioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15605580157193047780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-87390090239115708262011-09-12T11:51:37.184+01:002011-09-12T11:51:37.184+01:00Esther - in this instance Kenco are the ones who&#...Esther - in this instance Kenco are the ones who've actually taken the trouble to give us an option to recycle their packets.
