Entenmann’s Little Bites “Recycle…Reuse…Replenish” Fully Recyclable Lunch Tips:

Recycle

– Check-it: look for numbers and recycling symbols on plastics to know what types get reused

– Not sure what to do with your Little Bites pouches? Now you can recycle them with the TerraCycle Brigade programs and sign up  your school if it is not already participating. Check out what other lunch items TerraCycle recycles here: http://www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades.html

Reuse

– Put your sandwich in reusable lunchbox container to take home and use again

– Before you toss anything away, stop to think about how you might be able to use it again.  TerraCycle’s team of designers makes products out of wrappers and packaging.  Check out http://www.terracycle.com/en-US/do-it-yourself-projects.html for ideas. 

Replenish

– Have any leftovers from lunch? Before you throw away, make sure to check out what biodegradable foods can be brought back home to be added to a compost pile.

– Make compost at home! Be sure to include the three basic ingredients: Browns (dead leaves, branches, twigs, cardboard, newspaper), Greens (grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, coffee grounds) and Water to make an effective outdoor composting area.  Check out more info from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) here: http://www2.epa.gov/recycle/composting-home
