20 April 2009 - United States

Mars, Incorporated’s five business segments – Chocolate, Petcare, Wrigley, Food, and Drinks -- and upcycling company TerraCycle today announced TerraCycle’s largest-ever corporate partnership.

TerraCycle will produce affordable, high-quality consumer goods by repurposing surplus and used packaging from more than 20 Mars brands, including: leading confectionary brands such as M&M’S®, SNICKERS®, MILKY WAY®, TWIX®, STARBURST®, SKITTLES®, 3 MUSKETEERS®, JUICY FRUIT®, DOUBLEMINT®, WRIGLEY’S SPEARMINT®, ORBIT®, EXTRA®, FREEDENT®, ECLIPSE®, 5®, WINTERFRESH®, BIG RED®, LIFE SAVERS®, and ALTOIDS®; dog and cat food brands PEDIGREE®, NUTRO® and THE GOODLIFE RECIPE®; and food and drink brands UNCLE BEN’S®, SEEDS OF CHANGE®, and FLAVIA®.

TerraCycle will repurpose waste packaging from Mars’s U.S. operations into products ranging from cell phone holders and laptop sleeves to messenger bags, significantly reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. Mars will also sponsor TerraCycle ‘Brigade programs,’ in which organizations can raise money by collecting used packaging from participating brands and sending it to TerraCycle.
