Recycling accessories and badge holders

Many companies and event organizers are faced with a recurring problem: what to do with accessories they no longer need? Often, these items are simply thrown away, as they can't be handled by conventional recycling centers.

Thanks to Zero Waste™ Boxes, you now have a practical solution for recycling your cords, badge holders and other fasteners. So, instead of simply being disposed of by landfill or incineration, the items contained in these boxes will be sorted and transformed into reusable materials.

The Zero Waste™ Box represents an innovative approach to recycling, based on the all-in-one concept. Indeed, the cost of this product encompasses not only the container itself (the box), but also all the services associated with the recycling process.

Thus, the Zero Waste™ Box solution includes the following elements:

• The cardboard recycling box.
• Transport to the local TerraCycle® Center by UPS.
• Recycling the products contained in the box.

These boxes can be used to recycle the following products:

• Badge holder.
• Cords and chokers.
• Metal and plastic fasteners (clips, reels, etc.).
• Badges and plastic cards (all formats accepted).

The introduction of other types of waste can also lead to additional costs associated with the need for additional selective sorting. We therefore recommend that you do not include:

• Chip or magnetic stripe cards (to recycle these cards, please use the Zero Waste™ Plastic Card Box).
• Any waste considered hazardous (sharp, flammable, reactive, corrosive, radioactive, toxic, infectious or pathogenic) that presents a risk to people and/or the environment.
• Medical waste, broken glass, batteries, oil-based paints and aerosols

The waste collected in Zero Waste™ Boxes is sorted according to material type.

• Plastics are separated by type, melted and transformed into granules that can be used to manufacture new products.
• Metals are also separated by type and melted into ingots for reuse.
• Textiles are separated according to their composition. Natural fibers are converted into a material used for insulation, while synthetic fibers are transformed into a densified or granulated material mix used in carpet backing.
