Reuse Those Juice Pouches!

"Reuse" is part of the three part eco-mantra we hear so much about today: reduce, reuse and recycle. Many old products can be reused and made into useful new merchandise.

Take, for example, the impressive handbags, pencil cases and lunch bags made from different types of drink pouches. Thanks to TerraCycle , Capri Sun and the organic drink company, Honest Kids, they have found a way to keep billions of those non-recyclable drink pouches out of the overflowing landfills. Once you join the Drink Pouch Brigade, TerraCycle will not only create funky, useful bags to tote around, but they will donate up to $.02 per pouch to a charity of your choice.
