Beginning this Saturday, March 27th and running until May 1, TerraCycle will open a popup Green Up Shop and boutique on 8th Avenue at 41st Street in New York City. The shop will showcase a wide range of green products (including over 100 TerraCycle products) and services and host exciting weekly events including eco-friendly film screenings, lectures, workouts, and DIY workshops.
The Green Up Shop is in honor of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day.
If you are in the New York area Monday – Saturday 11 am – 7 pm, check out the Green Up Shop. Be sure to click on the Events link for additional details including a schedule. Some of the events and exhibits that peaked my interest include:
In addition to selling its affordable, fun products made from waste, TerraCycle will use the space to collect over 30 different non-recyclable waste streams, turning the store into the world’s largest ‘Upcycling Center.’Consumers who drop off waste will be entitled to a discount on the products they purchase! TerraCycle is also proud to work with a unique line up of NYC-area designers all as socially and environmentally responsible as the rest.
Brooklyn-based RePlayGround creates eco-gifts and DIY products that enable consumers to use household waste to make, eco-friendly products lamps and trivets! RePlayGround and TerraCycle are partnering to sponsor a free DIY table at the store that will allow children to make a fun, free item from drink pouches or other food wrappers. Stop by weekly to collect the various products you make yourself!
RESTORE™CLOTHING a mid-town based clothing company that makes a full range of
eco-friendly clothes that feature organic and recycled materials and socially responsible manufacturing. RESTORE™CLOTHING is partnering closely with TerraCycle to help organize the green design themed pop-up shop and will find sponsorship and co-host the many events planned for the space in the month of April including some with our friends at SAVE THE GARMENT CENTER.
Stay tuned for some additional TerraCycle news coming soon regarding other exciting promotions going on in recognition of Earth Day.
Happy Greening!
