Entenmann’s Little Bites "Recycle…Reuse…Replenish" Fully Recyclable Lunch Campaign {Prize Pack Giveaway!}

Entenmann's logo
Whereas my girls' interests might vary and change over time, one thing that they have both always stayed passionate about is helping the earth.

Whether it is the constant reminders to recycle every piece of paper, the disapproving looks as they hurry over to turn off an unneeded light, or the repeating questions as to why someone would even consider littering, I love knowing that they are growing up with care and concern about our planet.

Recently, we were introduced to yet another way to help make a difference... and it even involves delicious foods — a win-win! I'm not sure who was the most excited to join in the the Entenmann's Little Bites "Recycle… Reuse… Replenish" Fully Recyclable Lunch Campaign!

Little Bites recycle campaign

Entenmann's Bakery, the name that has been making life a little sweeter for more than 100 years with their amazing fresh-baked goods, has partnered with TerraCycle, an international leader in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable post-consumer waste.

Together, this dynamic team has launched the first-ever "Recycle…Reuse…Replenish" Fully Recyclable Lunch campaign that is helping kids become recycling pros and turn trash into cash for their schools!

The process couldn't be much easier (or more tasty). After kids snack on their favorite Entenmann's Little Bites muffins and brownies, they send the empty pouches to TerraCycle to be turned into new products through the Entenmann's Little Bites Pouch Brigade.

What a great way to teach kids the importance of reducing waste while earning money for their schools — I love that this unique partnership with TerraCycle demonstrates Entenmann's dedication to recycling and reducing the amount of Entenmann's Little Bites pouches that end up in landfills each year!

As the recycling and upcycling experts at TerraCycle are committed to creating new lives for Entenmann's Little Bites pouches, it is great knowing that the used packaging is turned into innovative new products, while also awarding points for schools that can be redeemed as cash for every Little Bites pouch received.

Entenmann's Little Bites Recycle Triangle

Entenmann's also has a great collection of Little Bites "Recycle…Reuse…Replenish" Fully Recyclable Lunch tips that can help the whole family stay green:

Recycle
  • Check-it: look for numbers and recycling symbols on plastics to know what types get reused.
  • Be sure to recycle your Little Bites pouches with the TerraCycle Brigade programs. Sign up your school if it is not already participating and check out what other lunch items TerraCycle recycles!
Reuse
  • Put your sandwich in reusable lunchbox container to take home and use again.
  • Before you toss anything away, stop to think about how you might be able to use it again. TerraCycle's team of designers make products out of wrappers and packaging and you can find DIY project ideas to try as well!
Replenish
  • Have any leftovers from lunch? Before you throw away, make sure to check out what biodegradable foods can be brought back home to be added to a compost pile.
  • Make compost at home! Be sure to include the three basic ingredients: Browns (dead leaves, branches, twigs, cardboard, newspaper), Greens (grass clippings, vegetable waste, fruit scraps, coffee grounds) and Water to make an effective outdoor composting area. More helpful info on composting at home can be found from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Big Sister E and Little Sister B were more than excited to enjoy the large variety of delicious Little Bites products while also knowing that their pouches would be recycled into things like garbage cans, park benches and even bike racks. Talk about a sweet idea!

I think it's great! I recycle as much as I can, use cloth grocery bags for shopping & more, so any time a company can help and encourage people to reduce & recycle too, I'm all for it :)

I think it's a great phrase that will stick in people's mind. It's so important to recycle and find other uses for items than just throwing them away.

LIDARKSIDE said...

I believe in reusing and repurposing. However, my husband worked in recycling. So, we know that most of it ends up in the landfill anyway. So, I think that someone should speak up about the reality of recycling.

Thanks for the giveaway… any program that brings awareness to the wastefulness of our culture is a positive step, especially if geared toward children who, hopefully, can reverse the trend.
