Why Reuse is Gaining Ground Over Compostable Packaging

As challenges with compostable packaging become more clear, reusable systems are gaining momentum as a more practical solution. Compostable materials often require specialized infrastructure and can struggle to scale, while reuse models focus on durability and repeated use. TerraCycle’s Loop platform is a leading example, offering products in returnable containers that are cleaned, refilled, and reused, reducing the need for single-use packaging. By shifting from disposal to reuse, solutions like Loop help keep materials in circulation and move packaging closer to a truly circular system.

Empty Potato Chip Bags Don't Belong in Your Recycling Bin

Potato chip bags are typically made from multiple layers of plastic and aluminum fused together to keep snacks fresh, but that design makes them difficult for standard recycling systems to process. Because the materials cannot easily be separated, most curbside programs do not accept this type of packaging. TerraCycle helps address this challenge through specialized recycling solutions that collect and process hard to recycle materials like flexible snack packaging, enabling the materials to be recycled and kept in use instead of ending up in landfills and incinerators.
