As of this year, Taco Bell has partnered with TerraCycle to recycle its single-use sauce packets, aiming to keep millions of plastic pouches out of landfills.

It functions as both a grip and a kickstand, features a swappable top for personal flair, and collapses flat for pocket-friendly portability.
