WHO ARE TERRACYCLE?

TerraCycle are an innovative recycling company that has become a global leader in hard-to-recycle waste. 

Did you know that over 67 million tonnes of waste is generated every year in Australia. Of this, less than 50% gets recycled, with over 35% going straight to landfill. It's estimated that 130,000 tonnes of Australian plastic ends up in our waterways and oceans each year.

There is so much in the world that cannot be recycled, but the only reason for this is that your local council who pick up your bins from outside your house, just don't have the systems in place to do so. Most of what we use can be recycled with proper systems and that is what TerraCycle work to create.

HOW BLAEK STORE TEAMS UP WITH TERRACYCLE

You can drop off your used dental hygiene, stationary, single-use razors and blister packs and we will send them off to TerraCycle to be recycled (please clean all dental hygiene products!).

TerraCycle shreds and melts these products into hard plastic that can be remoulded into new, recycled products. Learn more about TerraCycle's innovative recycling process here.

RETURN & EARN AT BLAEK STORE

TerraCycle also gives back to BLAEK Store for being a Community Collection Hub. For every 7kg of waste we send to them, we receive 2 points per piece of rubbish. Each point equals $0.20 which we then donate to one of our charity partners.

As an extra incentive for our wonderful customers, we offer a 10% off discount, no matter how many items you recycle. You can spend as much or as little as you like but the discount is applied once only and to full-priced items only.

Bring in your family's 5 used toothbrushes, a couple of finished toothpaste tubes, a dental floss container and 2 dried up markers and you'll get 10% off our range of men's and women's clothing, plus be donating $2 to charity, through TerraCycle and BLAEK Store.
