What is TerraCycle

TerraCycle offers consumers a way to recycle products that are not typically accepted as part of curbside recycling programs. Jel Sert is thrilled to work with TerraCycle on this program with Powerade® Sports Freezer Bars and create something new and different from our plastic tubes.

Can I recycle any Jel Sert Products?

Not yet! Currently, TerraCycle only accepts our Powerade® Sports Freezer Bar wrappers.

Can I recycle Freezer Pop Boxes or any Jel Sert Packaging through TerraCycle?

TerraCycle only accepts products that are not accepted curbside. You can only recycle our Powerade® Sports Freezer Bar wrappers through TerraCycle right now!

What happens to the waste?

The packaging is first separated into flexible plastics and rigid plastics because each type of plastic requires different processing equipment. The material is then shredded or ground, and it undergoes a melting process to become usable raw material for new products, ranging from outdoor furniture to storage totes.

Do the plastic tubes have to be fully cleaned before sending to TerraCycle?

You don’t need to fully clean packaging before sending it in, but please remove as much residue and unfrozen liquid as possible. Dripping packages will not be accepted via mail services.

Does my shipment have to weigh a certain amount before I can send it in?

No, your shipment can be any size. Just keep in mind that larger shipments are usually more eco-friendly and reduce the environmental impact even further.




  • Approximately 60% of Jel Sert corrugated usage is made with 100% post-consumer content recycled paper. The remainder has a recycled content of at least 35%.
  • Working diligently on becoming a zero landfill facility
  • Jel Sert utilizes CHEP pallets for the vast majority of our wood pallet requirements.  Unlike traditional wood pallets that have a short life span, CHEP pallets are engineered to be used hundreds of times on a shared platform.  This significantly contributes to environmental sustainability as there is significantly less need for new timber and deforestation.
