Trenton, NJ — TerraCycle, the company that upcycles waste into useful products, has added universal speakers to its offerings.
The company partnered with Merkury Innovations, a producer of consumer electronics accessories, to make portable, foldable speakers with Frito-Lay product wrappers. The speakers do not require batteries and just plug into devices with a 3.5mm universal plug.
The speakers are just one of many products TerraCycle has turned snack wrapper into, including tote bags, backpacks, business 
card holders, pencil cases, pocket portfolios and more.
TerraCycle has so far collected more than 5 million chip bags in the one year it has been taking them in, and donated $6,500 to school and charities for those that were collected by its Chip Bag Brigades.
