Best practices for collecting

Make sure all excess product has been removed (i.e. food residue) and place all baby food pouches, kids yogurt pouches, pouch caps and Ella’s Kitchen® snack packets in a cardboard box. Tape the box closed securely ensuring there are no loose edges or corners. Print your label and attach it securely to the shipment.

What happens to this waste

Once collected, your empty baby food pouches, kids yogurt pouches, pouch caps and Ella’s Kitchen® snack packets are separated by polymer type and cleaned (if necessary). The material is then extruded into plastic pellets to make new recycled products.

Rewards

This programme offers 100 TerraCycle® points per kilogram of baby food pouches, kids yogurt pouches, pouch caps and Ella’s Kitchen® snack packets sent. However, the points will only be awarded if the parcel reaches the minimum weight of 8 kilograms.

For example:
1 kilogram = 0 TerraCycle® points
8 kilograms = 800 TerraCycle® points
12 kilograms = 1,200 TerraCycle® points

Please note that TerraCycle® points are credited to the accounts of public drop-off location administrators as a reward for their collection efforts. The number of points given is determined by the weight of the parcel. 1 TerraCycle® point is worth 1 penny.

Once credited, the points can be redeemed into financial donations to the charity or school chosen by the owner of the points.
