Difference between the Zero Waste Box and Zero Waste Bag services

At TerraCycle, we offer two main paid recycling services for collectors and companies based in the UK: the Zero Waste Boxes and Zero Waste Bags.

TerraCycle’s Zero Waste Boxes and Zero Waste Bags provide solutions for people who are looking for an alternative outside of a free recycling programme, be it in their home, office, or community. A consumer can purchase a Zero Waste Box or Zero Waste Bag online in a variety of sizes and bundles, ranging in waste streams. The price per box and bag consists of the transport, storage, and recycling process costs. 

A Zero Waste Box is a complete and convenient solution to recycle almost everything. The Zero Waste Box is easy to set up and use in shared spaces, and to return simply organise a collection with UPS. This makes the Zero Waste Box the perfect option for schools, businesses, manufacturing, events facilities, and households looking to recycle several products in larger volumes and increase their sustainable practices. 

The Zero Waste Bag is TerraCycle's newest recycling service. Our recycling bags are a convenient and innovative solution particularly for individuals and households to recycle one of 14 different types of rubbish including mixed plastics, cosmetics products and packaging, pet food packaging, or empty medicine blister packs from your home. Return your full bag conveniently at one of the +5000 InPost Lockers (open 24/7) at the time of your choice, for example on your way to work or while grocery shopping.
