Funsicle Teams Up With Terracycle to Launch Free Recycling Program For Inflatable Pools & Floats
Outdoor Recreation Brand Commits to Sustainability by Launching National Funsicle Inflatables Free Recycling Program through TerraCycle
TRENTON, N.J., April 10, 2023 – Funsicle®, a fast-growing outdoor recreation brand within the Polygroup® family, is partnering with international recycling leader TerraCycle® to enable consumers in the United States to recycle Funsicle inflatable pools and floats. As part of their ‘Float on Purpose’ sustainability initiative, Funsicle now offers customers the unique opportunity to reduce waste by collecting deflated Funsicle inflatables and sending them directly to TerraCycle to be recycled—at no cost to the consumer.
In a conscious effort to sustainably divert well-loved inflatable pools and floats from landfills, TerraCycle and Polygroup created the Funsicle Inflatables Free Recycling Program. Participation is easy: sign up on the TerraCycle program page at www.terracycle.com/en-US/brigades/funsicle and mail in Funsicle inflatable pools and floats using a prepaid shipping label. For each pound of inflatables returned, the collector earns one dollar toward charity gifts or cash donations to a school or non-profit organization of their choice.
“At TerraCycle, we are all about having fun, but not at the planet's expense,” said Tom Szaky, TerraCycle Founder and CEO. “Through the Funsicle Free Recycling Program, fans of the inflatable pools and floats can easily reduce waste without sacrificing the enjoyment of their summer fun.”
The program is open to any interested pool owner, individual, school, or community organization. Once collected, the floats and pools are cleaned, shredded, and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products.
