Zero Waste Box™ Earplugs - Zero Waste Box™, Small, 10.5 Gallon

The TerraCycle Zero Waste Box™ for Ear Plugs provides a simple and responsible way to recycle used ear plugs from any brand or size. Designed for use in manufacturing facilities, laboratories, food production environments, and other workplaces where hearing protection is required, this solution ensures that discarded PPE is properly processed and kept out of landfills.

Please send only non-hazardous ear plugs that are free from visible contamination, heavy soiling, or hazardous materials (including ignitable, corrosive, reactive, toxic, or infectious substances). Do not send medical or biohazardous waste — follow your facility’s internal disposal guidelines for regulated materials.

Once your box is full, simply seal it and ship it using the prepaid UPS return label included. The collected materials are sent to one of TerraCycle’s Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs), where they are scanned, weighed, and sorted by composition. After cleaning and processing, the materials are transformed into reusable raw materials used to make new, sustainable products — completing the circular recycling process.
