At 96 He May Be Britain's Oldest Worker-And He Has No Plans to Retire: 'You can't sit back…Keep going'
Britain's oldest worker, Bill Parton, says he has no plans to retire at the grand age of 96, after opening his own business decades ago.
Kraft Foods has joined a list of major corporations, like Coke and Kellogg, to fund the collection of used packaging leftover from its products by entering into a deal with upstart super-recycler, TerraCycle -- the company founded by a Princeton University Freshman who dropped out of school to become an eco-capitalist that turns garbage into useful home products.
Kraft Foods has joined a list of major corporations, like Coke and Kellogg, to fund the collection of used packaging and consumer leftovers of its own products through a partnership with upstart super-recycler, TerraCycle, Inc.
In 2001, Tom Szaky, a Princeton University Freshman, dropped out of school to become an eco-capitalist founding TerraCycle, a company that turns garbage into useful home products.
"TerraCycle's eco-friendly products have received a myriad of social and environmental accolades and are sold at major retailers like The Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart and Whole Foods Markets."
Last month, Kraft announced its new partnership with TerraCycle that will invest in the collection of packages that are challenging to recycle, like its Capri Sun containers and food bar wrappers, turning them into affordable, high quality bags, spray bottles, shower curtains, umbrellas and other consumer goods.
One of the ways TerraCycle collects the product packaging is by enlisting schools in a fund raising scheme where the "TerraCycle Brigades" earn pennies for every bottle or wrapper collected. Check out their products and fundraising programs online at www.terracycle.com.
