Contact lenses are small, but through collective action, we’re making a big difference. With the help of TerraCyclers around the world, we recycle about 40,000 lbs of contact lens waste every 3 months, keeping it out of landfills and incinerators. Recycling may feel like a small action, but recycling together has the power to make a difference. 👀 Check out our solutions for contact lens waste: https://lnkd.in/ee9KzteD

TerraCycle is Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by recycling the unrecyclable and reducing disposability at its source.
About us
TerraCycle is Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by developing solutions to recycle the unrecyclable—items that aren’t typically curbside recyclable like cosmetics, candy wrappers, chewing gum, and even cigarette butts. We work with environmentally-conscious startups and some of the world’s biggest brands to recycle their products into raw material, which is then sold to manufacturing companies. Those manufacturers then use the materials to make new products like outdoor furniture and decking, plastic shipping pallets, tubes for construction applications, playground surface covers, and more. We’ve even recycled ocean plastic into shampoo bottles and toothpaste tubes into playgrounds! We’re continuously pioneering new and innovative recycling, reuse, and recycled content solutions for your trash. Join us in Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by visiting terracycle.com.

Did you know most recycling involves processing an item back into its raw materials, which are then turned into different objects? A closed-loop product is specifically designed to be recycled back into itself—making it better for the planet. 🔄 Introducing the ASICS NIMBUS MIRAI™ Free Recycling program: our newest recycling solution to help close the loop. The ASICS NIMBUS MIRAI™ is a performance running shoe that features technology that allows portions of the shoe to be recycled back into itself. ASICS NIMBUS MIRAI™ uses a mono-material for the upper part of the sneaker which allows that upper to be separated and turned back into raw material. In partnership with TerraCycle, ASICS plans to use the recycled raw material towards creating future pairs of ASICS NIMBUS MIRAI™. Learn more about this innovative program in partnership with ASICS America Corporation and help us close the loop: https://bit.ly/4ckCkiA
