Tom’s of Maine Offers Natural Care Recycling Program In Partnership With TerraCycle
TORONTO, ON / AGILITYPR.NEWS / July 19, 2021 / Tom’s of Maine continues to support recycling among consumers with the help of TerraCycle
Tom’s of Maine, a leader in natural oral and personal care products, is deepening its commitment to sustainability through its Canadian Natural Care Recycling Program in partnership with TerraCycle, the international recycling leader. The program has yielded long-standing success in the United States and offers customers a free, easy way to recycle all personal care products like mouthwash bottles and caps, toothbrushes, deodorant containers and caps, soap packaging, floss containers, and toothpaste tubes and caps.
”Tom’s of Maine believes in living for today as well as tomorrow and understands that the decisions we make have a lasting impact,” said Esi Seng, General Manager of Tom’s of Maine. “Plastic has become a serious problem in our world. As part of our commitment to help people live a more sustainable life, it is important to us to be able to give Canadians an easy, free way to keep their product packaging out of landfills.”
Participation in the Natural Care Recycling Program is simple. Consumers are invited to sign up on the TerraCycle program page at https://www.terracycle.com/en-CA/brigades/toms-of-maine-en-ca, and mail in personal care packaging using a prepaid shipping label. Once collected, the packaging is cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products. Every shipment of personal care packaging sent to TerraCycle earns collectors points that can be used for charitable gifts or converted to cash and donated to a non-profit, school or charitable organization of their choice.
“The Natural Care Recycling Program represents a unique and sustainable opportunity for consumers to divert waste from landfills,” says Tom Szaky, CEO and Founder of TerraCycle. “Together, with the help of Tom’s of Maine, we are making it simple to eliminate the idea of waste and have a positive impact on the environment for future generations.”
Interested individuals, schools, offices, or community organizations can participate in the Natural Care Recycling Program to recycle personal care packaging. To learn more about TerraCycle’s recycling programs, visit www.terracycle.ca.
