<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nThe company TerraCycle is much like a music producer who has to deal with Britney Spears’ recording sessions, they both take trash and turn it into something that can be marketed and sold. TerraCycle calls what they’re doing “upcycling,” while Britney’s music producers probably like to describe what they do as “panning in a river of diarrhea for gold.”<\/p>\n
Some examples of what TerraCycle has done include: Taking discarded Capri Sun drink pouches and turning them into backpacks<\/a><\/u>, using old circuit boards to make picture frames<\/a><\/u>, making pencils out of newspapers<\/a><\/u> and creating pencil cases out of Chips Ahoy packages<\/a><\/u>. One of the company’s latest products is their M&M’s Candy Wrapper Speakers, which they created with a company called Fashionation and can also be found made with potato chip bags.<\/p>\n According to the packaging, these speakers are made with up to 80 percent of recycled materials, which is a lot, but significantly less than what can be found on an album by the cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes<\/a><\/u>. The speaker’s box is made out of a big M&M’s Fun Size package and cardboard that looks like it’s been made out of recycled paper. However, I’m not sure how much of the cables and speaker components are made out of reused metals and plastics.<\/p>\n The speakers fold into 3.25-inch cubes and can be unfolded flat again for easy storage and transportation, but I wouldn’t recommend doing it often because I found it difficult to reinsert the tabs into the slots needed to turn them into cubes. The uncooperative tabs and slots caused me to do a little digging, which caused me to accidental peel some of the M&M’s wrapper. When in cube form, they’re front-heavy, like Morganna The Kissing Bandit<\/a><\/u>, so if you put them on an uneven surface, they might topple forward.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/terracyclespeakers02.jpg\")
