Tom’s of Maine and Hello have teamed up through the Natural Care Recycling Program, in partnership with international recycling leader TerraCycle, to offer a free and easy way to recycle Tom’s of Maine and Hello personal care products like mouthwash bottles and caps, toothbrushes, deodorant containers and caps, soap packaging, floss containers and toothpaste tubes and caps through a mail-back collection program.
“The Natural Care Recycling Program represents a unique and sustainable opportunity for consumers to divert waste from landfills,” says Tom Szaky, CEO and Founder of TerraCycle. “Together, with the help of Tom’s of Maine and hello, we are making it simple to eliminate the idea of waste and have a positive impact on the environment for future generations.”
To participate in the Natural Care Recycling Program, consumers are invited to sign up on the TerraCycle program page and mail in personal care packaging using a prepaid shipping label. Once collected, the packaging is cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products. Every shipment of personal care packaging sent to TerraCycle earns collectors points that can be used for charitable gifts or converted to cash and donated to a non-profit, school or charitable organization of their choice.
“As the activist for everyday good, we’re proud people have recycled over 1.5 million pieces of personal care packaging through this fantastic program," said Esi Seng, general manager of Tom’s of Maine. "By adding Hello to the mix, we think we can help achieve even more together and we look forward to the partnership."
