All my bruhs know how much I like TerraCycle. Just when we all thought TerraCycle couldn't get any better, they totally outdo themselves!
Have you ever found yourself rinsing out a container to be recycled and wondered why it couldn't just be cleaned and reused?
I remember a time when I was a kid that my dad would get reusable milk jugs from Cub. He would pay a small deposit when he purchased the milk and when he brought back the container on our next shopping trip, he would return the jug and get his deposit back. The milk jug was a thick plastic that was sanitized and reused. I thought my dad was just cheap at the time because that milk was a few cents cheaper. Turns out dear old dad was frugal and cared about the environment.

Loop is the brainchild of TerraCycle founder Tom Szaky. Loop is the same premise as the milk jugs, except it is delivered to your door. The products are contained in glass or stainless steel and require a deposit that is refunded when you return the container. The container is sanitized and reused.
Loop is kicking off this year and if enough people support it, it can grow and make a real difference. If the idea takes off maybe it could be implemented in stores as well as home delivery.
