Recycle Your Wrappers

Posted: Wednesday, 26 March 2008

Clif Bar, makers of all-natural and organic energy bars, has launched the nation’s first collection program for used energy bar wrappers called the Wrapper Brigade. 

The program was developed in partnership with TerraCycle, which manufactures products from recycled waste materials. Through this program, two cents will be donated to charity for every used wrapper collected by individuals and organizations.

The collected wrappers will be fused and woven into a strong material, which will then be used to make backpacks, gym totes and other products. These items are expected to be available at major retailers by early next year.

Anyone can sign up for the Wrapper Brigade program by visiting www.terracycle.net/brigades. Within two weeks after signing up, you’ll receive four collection bags that hold 200 energy bar wrappers each. Simply mail the collection bags back to TerraCycle and designate the charity you want to support with your wrapper donation.

All shipping fees are covered by the program to encourage people to collect as many wrappers as possible.
