Once collected, the waste is broken down and separated by material. Plastics are cleaned and pelletized, paper based waste and organic waste (such as coffee grounds) are composted and metals are melted down. Click here to learn more about TerraCycle's recycling process.

As a part of the Subaru Loves the Earth initiative, the collected waste streams will be turned into useful, high-quality recycled products, like park benches, picnic tables, and playground materials. These products will be donated to Subaru community partners of more than 540 participating local retailers.
