The Capri Sun ‘upcycling’ program is yet another recycling effort that our art
teacher, Mrs. Deborah Tonsoline, has been in charge of.
Upcycling is when you take something that is usually thrown away and turn
it into something people can use. Upcycling means less trash ends up in
landfills, which is GREAT for our planet!
Terracycle is the company that recycles the Capri Sun pouches into
notebooks, tote bags, purses, etc. Terracycle makes environmentally safe
cleaning and household products. The money raised by our efforts goes to
provide school supplies for a designated needy school. The students have
been hard at work cutting off the tops of the pouches, rinsing them, and
packaging them to be shipped out.
