Submitted by mericiadmin on February 6, 2019 - 1:11pm

The start of a new year is the perfect time to refresh, restart and challenge yourself to make a difference. At Merici we are continuing to focus on reducing waste to landfill, rethinking our energy use to be mindful of only using what we need, and being conscious water users in terms of water quantity and quality (what we put down the drains).

At home and school you can apply principles of sustainable living. Read more.

Meric College Green Tip #19 - TerraCycle Pen Recycling

Submitted by mericiadmin on December 13, 2018 - 10:31am

As the term and year draw to a close, may I remind you that there is a Terracyle pen recycling box in the iC near the photocopier.

TerraCycle, one of the fastest growing green companies in the world and has found a way to recycle, up-cycle, re-use, or otherwise transform many items that can't go into mainstream recycling and therefore end up in landfill.

TerraCycle has created a zero waste solution for pens, pencils and markers. Use this box to recycle pens and pen caps, mechanical pencils, markers and marker caps, permanent markers, and permanent marker caps.
