Packaging & Plastics TerraCycle Zero Waste Boxes
Many packaging materials and plastic products cannot be recycled through standard kerbside or commercial recycling services because they are made from mixed materials or flexible plastics. Packaging & Plastics TerraCycle Zero Waste Boxes provide an easy way to recycle these difficult waste streams and keep valuable materials in circulation.
Simply choose the Zero Waste Box that matches your waste type, fill it with the accepted materials, and return it using the prepaid Australia Post shipping label included with every box. TerraCycle then sorts and processes the collected materials into raw materials that can be used to manufacture new products.
