Henkel TerraCycle® Recycling Program for Anaerobic Packaging
by Henkel LOCTITE®
Henkel has partnered with TerraCycle® to develop a new, innovative recycling program for their anaerobic adhesive packaging. It's an easy and convenient way for companies to improve sustainability, and turn empty LOCTITE® anaerobic bottles into useful items, such as park benches, chairs, watering cans and paving stones.
The TerraCycle® Zero Waste Boxes™ are made from durable, double-wall corrugate and come in three different sizes. Small (holds about 170 bottles), Medium (455 bottles) and Large (890 bottles).
The Henkel Adhesive Recycle Program is easy to join. Just purchase a TerraCycle® Zero Waste Box™, place the box where LOCTITE® anaerobic adhesives are regularly used or disposed of, and once full, seal and ship the box to TerraCycle® using the pre-paid shipping label already on the box.
