Please check out our Accepted Waste Poster below for more details.
What happens to this waste
Once collected, the ring carriers are shredded, washed and then pelletized. These pellets can be used for a number of moulded rigid plastic products like benches, or used as film for products such as rubbish bags.

Rewards
This programme offers 100 TerraCycle® points for each kilogram of ring carriers sent. However, the points will only be awarded if the parcel reaches the minimum weight of 100 grams.
For example:
50 grams of ring carriers = 0 TerraCycle® points
100 grams of ring carriers = 10 TerraCycle® points
1 kilogram of ring carriers = 100 TerraCycle® points
Please note that TerraCycle® points are credited to the accounts of public drop-off location administrators and private collectors 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. The points must be redeemed on the TerraCycle® website.
Resources

Every year, plastic and other items escape waste collection infrastructure and end up in landfills and our environment. We are working to put an end to this enormous waste and loss of valuable resources.
