Recyclable Trick-or-Treat Bags

What can I do?

Digital waste and recycling solutions provider Rubicon Technologies is teaming up with Mars this Halloween to take on the issue of packaging waste with the introduction of specially designed recyclable trick-or-treating bags. Mars will be offering these bags throughout the month of October as an expansion of Rubicon's existing Trick or Trash campaign.

These trick-or-treat bags are outfitted with a prepaid postage stamp and simple, three-step instructions for proper recycling. Once the Halloween treat bags are returned, the individual bag and the wrappers contained within will be appropriately recycled for future use.

By Rubicon's estimations, "the vast majority of wrappers from the 600 million pounds of candy purchased in the United States each season ends up in landfills due to limitations in most curbside recycling programs." And the recyclable trick-or-treating bags will help to curb needless waste this season.
