31 Oct 2019 --- Early childhood nutrition Nestlé-subsidiary Gerber is partnering with recycling specialist TerraCycle to involve consumers in a free recycling program. Caregivers will now be able to mail in packaging that is not municipally recyclable 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. Additionally, for every pound of packaging waste sent to TerraCycle through the Gerber Recycling Program, collectors can earn US$1 to donate to a non-profit, school or charitable organization of their choice. This move comes as companies are under increasing pressure – both from consumers and at a policy level – to reduce their impact on the environment.
