Cookie Wrapper Brigade

Sponsored by Nabisco®

Every year millions of non–recyclable cookie wrappers and packaging end up in our landfills. TerraCycle and Nabisco® are working together to change that by launching the Cookie Wrapper Brigade to collect used cookie wrappers. As an eco–friendly innovator, TerraCycle is going to upcycle the used wrappers into unique accessories and other products.

Once your request to join the Cookie Wrapper Brigade™ has been processed, TerraCycle will ship 4 prepaid postage labels to your address. In an effort to be eco–friendly, once you have collected at least 50 wrappers, reuse a box or bag you have at home, affix the prepaid postage label, and drop it off at the nearest UPS location.

For each approved wrapper we receive,* $0.02 will be donated to a non-profit organization of your choice. If you do not have an organization in mind, you can choose from our list!

Participating in the Cookie Wrapper Brigade is totally free! There are no signup or participation fees, and the shipping is covered by the program. If you’d like more information or have any questions, please check out the *Cookie Wrapper Brigade FAQ *

Social enterprises’ competitive edge: Storytelling and customer participation (June 30, 2009)

There’s a tornado of information coming from blogs, Twitter, Facebook and all. So, how does a company make itself heard? One way is by having a good story to tell. Another is an ability to engage customers and, best, allow them to participate in a larger cause.

This is good news for not only for profits, because, by the nature of their products and missions, they tend to have a good...

TerraCycle: A fun new way to recycle (June 10, 2009)

Terracycle is a company that purchases empty packaging and turns it into new products. Of course it is best to avoid buying products that come in packaging as much as possible, but completely abstaining from products that come in packaging is impossible. Terracycle provides a solution that is halfway between recycling and reusing. Ordinarily, recycling material means breaking down the former product....
