Edgewell's Schick and Skintimate Launch Free Razor Recycling Program with TerraCycle

Schick and Skintimate, two shave care brands from Edgewell Personal Care, have introduced a free, nationwide recycling program in partnership with TerraCycle that makes it easy for consumers in the continental United States to recycle disposable razors and their plastic packaging. Disposable razors are made from a mix of metal and plastic that most local recycling systems cannot process, leaving many of these items to end up in landfills or incinerators. Through the program individuals, households, schools, and community groups can sign up online, download a prepaid shipping label, collect used razors and packaging in a secure box, and send them to TerraCycle for recycling. The plastics are processed into pellets used in products like park benches and picnic tables, and the metals are smelted into base materials for industrial uses, helping keep these hard‑to‑recycle materials in use and out of waste streams.

D’Addario and TerraCycle Celebrate 10 Years of the Playback String Recycling Program

TerraCycle and D’Addario are celebrating ten years of the Playback Free String Recycling Program, the first large-scale initiative to recycle instrument strings of any brand. Since 2015 the partnership has kept more than 16 million strings out of landfills by giving musicians, retailers, and schools a free and easy way to send in used strings and clippings for recycling through TerraCycle’s platform. Once collected, the metal from the strings is melted into new alloys and repurposed into new products, showing how creative industries and innovative recycling solutions can help eliminate waste and make sustainability part of music culture.
