Every year, millions of plastic sandwich and lunch bags and containers that are used for lunches in schools and offices across the country end up in landfill. Glad® Canada has partnered with eco-innovator TerraCycle® to help provide a second life for the bags and containers discarded each day.
Every time you use a Glad® sandwich or lunch bag or a GladWare® container, you and your school can help save it from being discarded in a landfill by sending it to TerraCycle. For each container or every plastic sandwich/lunch bags received, your collection location will be awarded two TerraCycle points which can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts or for a payment of $0.02 to the non-profit organization or school of your choice. Please click here to learn more about the TerraCycle Points Program!
