Kids at Newport School go green

Other things such as juice pouches and potato chip packages are collected and sent to Terracycle, a company which promotes a way to help “outsmart waste.” Items from Terracycle include fence partitions made from “up-cycled” drink pouches, insulated coolers made from candy wrappers, and recycling bins made from recycled plastics. Backpacks and shower curtains also are made from the recycled trash the school kids are sending in. These things can be found at stores including Target, Wal-Mart and Home Depot, said Galvan.
