GoGo squeeZ^® Rewards Brigade^® Participants for Earth Month

GoGo squeeZ and TerraCycle^® Expand Popular Recycling Program to Meet Demand

TRENTON, N.J., March 7, 2013 – GoGo squeeZ, the popular healthy snack brand, has been working with TerraCycle to solve the issue of snack pouch waste through a recycling collection program called The GoGo squeeZ Brigade. For each pouch collected and sent in to TerraCycle, the collector earns points toward charity gifts or donations. More than 220,000 pouches have been collected since the Brigade launched two years ago, and more than half of the pouches were collected within the past six months. Due to the success of The GoGo squeeZ Brigade, additional spots are being opened for Earth Month, which will allow thousands of additional people to participate. GoGo squeeZ has exciting opportunities coming up for its collectors during Earth Month 2013. In order to reward Brigade participants for recycling their products, GoGo squeeZ is:

Adding an extra 1,000 open slots in the GoGo squeeZ Brigade for new participants to join in April. They have been filling up quickly, but there are still a few hundred locations available for new participants to join.
Running a GoGo squeeZ collection contest from March 25 through April 30 where the top five collectors win bonus points for their Brigade account, upcycled TerraCycle products, and a case of GoGo squeeZ.
Opening an online store at gogosqueez.com where consumers can buy GoGo squeeZ products directly. Shoppers who spend more than $50 will receive a free upcycled pencil case as part of the partnership with TerraCycle.
