Today while I was eating a new brand of granola, I noticed something on the package that really caught my eye. The product is called Bear Naked and they have implemented a sustainable packaging project. Bear Naked is partnered with TerraCycle to help develop a new way in packaging products. Their goal is to reduce the number of bags that end up in landfills. They plan on doing this by collecting the bags from customers (after they eat the yummy content, of course) and repurposing them into accessories like umbrella, shower curtains and tote bags.
All this information is explained on the back of the package and a website link is also available. Whenever you are done with the product, you can go online, get a form and return it to the manufacturers. You even get points that can be used towards their recycled products for sending in the bags. I think this project is really cool! It actually shows how people are trying to make a difference in the environment. I believe this project is sustainable and has the ability to start a great trend in the manufacturing business.
