Each year millions of candy wrappers are needlessly discarded and end up in landfills. TerraCycle is proud to partner with Mars/Wrigley and Cadbury to create a second life for used candy wrappers.
Every time you enjoy a Mars/Wrigley or Cadbury candy product, we want you to save the wrapper and send it in, and we will upcycle the material into fun and innovative products. For each approved candy wrapper received, $.02 will be donated to the non–profit organization or school of your choice, so you’re not only enjoying a great–tasting treat, but also helping reduce waste while contributing to a good cause. If you don’t have an organization in mind, you can choose from our list!
Participation in the Candy Wrapper Brigade is simple and it’s completely FREE – all costs and shipping are covered by Mars/Wrigley and Cadbury. Sign–up online today and the rest is easy:
1. Once you sign–up to participate in the Candy Wrapper Brigade you will receive prepaid postage labels and collection materials from TerraCycle.
2. Collect enough wrappers to fill a box (no larger than the size of a copy paper box).
3. Affix the pre–paid postage label and drop it off at a UPS location
If you would like more information or have any questions, please check out the Candy Wrapper FAQ. Mars/Wrigley and Cadbury are proud of their partnership with TerraCycle and are committed to making a difference. Sign–up today and join our effort to reduce the impact of our manufacturing plants on the planet each year.
This program is intended for high schools, colleges and universities, as well as other organizations at those levels.
