After transforming more than 1,500 pounds of recycled personal care waste into a one-of-a-kind Garnier Green Garden in Harlem and overhauling a garden at a special needs school in the Bronx, Garnier and TerraCycle took their eco efforts on the road with the “Where Should Our Garden Grow?” campaign to reward one recipient with a new community garden. After a public voting period, The ReFresh Project of New Orleans has been named the winner.
The campaign asked fans to vote for a deserving community to win its very own Green Garden. The new garden will be capable of yielding more than 2,000 pounds of vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers.
The plastic components of the garden, such as raised beds, picnic tables and trash receptacles, are made from recycled beauty waste collected through Garnier’s Personal Care and Beauty Brigade, a free fundraising program that donates money to a charity of the collector’s choice for every piece of beauty and personal care waste returned to TerraCycle for recycling. The collected beauty waste, which would otherwise be destined for landfills, consists of non-recyclable hair care, skin care and cosmetic packaging.
