Recycling company Terracycle has doubled down on its partnership with plant-based protein and nutrition bar company GoMacro to offer consumers in Canada a free way to recycle the brand\u2019s packaging.<\/p>\n

GoMacro customers can sign up on TerraCycle\u2019s MacroBar Wrapper Free Recycling Program page and mail in any empty wrappers using a prepaid shipping label.<\/p>\n

Once collected, the packaging will be cleaned and separated by material type to be recycled into raw formats that manufacturers can then use to make new products.<\/p>\n

Participants can also earn recycling rewards for every shipment sent in through TerraCycle which can be redeemed as a donation to a school, nonprofit, or charity of their choice.<\/p>\n

The partnership aims to tackle the issue of flexible plastic food wrappers<\/a>, which are considered difficult to recycle because they are made of multiple layers of different materials.<\/p>\n

GoMacro uses 100% recyclable or compostable packaging produced in the company\u2019s renewably powered manufacturing facility.<\/p>\n
