The beginning of every school year starts with buying new school supplies. As environmentally conscious students, we always opt for recycled paper, but when it comes to the rest of our school supplies, it’s nearly impossible to find sustainable alternatives. But the landscape is changing — eco-capitalist company, TerraCycle, recognizing students’ need for eco-friendly alternatives, has teamed up with OfficeMax to launch more school and office products, all upcycled from waste!
The environmentally responsible line features a wide range of products, from pencils and binders, to folders and tree-free papers. In fact, thousands of the millions of tons of plastic thrown away each year in America are transformed into TerraCycle’s trashcans and recycling bins. Corn and scrap newspaper become pens and pencils.
Their Eco-binders are made from 100 percent recycled cardboard and 80 percent recycled steel rings, and even come with the first-ever return program for used binders. Also exclusive to OfficeMax are their computer bags made from used billboard vinyl and corkboards made from used wine corks. Want to help out? Drop TerraCycle your personal collection of wine corks via cork brigade.
With 98% of TerraCycle products made entirely from garbage, shop guilt-free knowing that you’re purchasing products with the ZeroFootprint Seal of Approval.
TerraCycle’s new line of school and office essentials launched in September, so be sure to check out their new green offerings at your nearest OfficeMax!
