EOS has partnered with Terracycle to launch a national recycling program. Consumers can now recycle EOS packaging -- and TerraCycle will turn them into material that will be used to build park benches, picnic tables, and bike racks.
EOS says its new recycling program demonstrates its commitment to responsible sourcing, sustainability and transparency.
Though technically recyclable, mixed plastic packaging often ends up in landfills due to the high cost of recycling these materials.
"Aligning with a partner like TerraCycle to ensure a free and easy way for our consumers to recycle was incredibly important to us as we continue to grow our sustainability efforts," said eos Chief Marketing Officer, Soyoung Kang. "We know our eos consumers share our commitment to preserving the planet and now, with the help of TerraCycle, we're excited to rollout this nationwide recycling program that makes all eos product packaging 100% recyclable."
How It Works
Consumers register for the program on TerraCycle's website. After downloading a free UPS shipping label, attach it to any box or envelope, and mail in the packages.
As an added incentive, consumers recycling products will earn points. Choose a school or nonprofit organization that you want to help -- and for every one pound of empty EOS products shipped, Terracycle will donate $1.
Tom Szaky, DEO and founder, Terracycle, says "We are thrilled for eos to join our portfolio of partners. EOS is known for providing consumers with a delightful product experience, which they've now enhanced by offering consumers the opportunity to recycle their used packaging, giving them a way to make the world a better place."
