Recycle Your Whole Kids Packaging Waste
We’ve teamed up with TerraCycle® to create the Kids Pouch and Snack Recycling Program, a free recycling program that provides a second life for your Whole Kids pouches and caps, food bar wrappers, snack food bags and other packaging waste.

Joining our recycling program is free and easy to do.

When you’re ready to send in a shipment, download a shipping label from your TerraCycle account by clicking “Request a postage label” and follow the prompts. Print out your label and tape it securely onto your box. Ship the box to TerraCycle by dropping it off at your nearby post office.
What You Can Recycle in Our Program
Program accepted waste: Whole Kids food pouches, Whole Kids food pouch caps and Whole Kids snack wrappers.
In order to recycle this waste stream properly, please make sure all excess product has been removed (for example, leftover fruit purée from a Frooshie). Additionally, if you choose to rinse your product, please note that it must be completely dry prior to shipping. You cannot ship dripping packages (gets a bit soggy during delivery!).

What happens to your waste
Once collected, the food pouches and snack wrappers are cleaned and melted into hard plastic that can be remolded to make new recycled products. Click here to learn more about the recycling process.
Reward Points

We have reached our goal of providing
500,000
breakfasts
We are so proud to announce that with your support through the purchase of our products we have been able to reach our goal of providing 500,000 meals to children in Cambodia through our School Meals Project in conjunction with Plan International!
When this goal was set we wanted to provide a healthy start to the day for school children in need by donating a portion of the sales from Whole Kids products. But this project goes beyond just meals, these children attended school, found it easier to concentrate and developed new skills to share with their families and communities. The impacts of this will be felt for generations.
So thank you for your support and choosing a products for your children that is contributing to the health and happiness of children around the world!
The wider program is supported all across the world, and with our contribution on top of this, the Cambodia School Feeding program has benefited 142,000 students across 587 target schools. Over 830,000 metric tonnes of food such as rice, fish, beans, vegetable oil, salt and yellow split peas have been consumed so far.
Implementation of this project is as much about quality as quantity so schools are asked to provide a record of the impact of the program on their students. 92% of schools that completed the report said their students reported they were no longer hungry in classes and could concentrate.
The program was implemented in three provinces – Siem Reap, Kampong Thom and Battambang.
With every purchase of a Whole Kids product, you are creating a happier, healthier world for children!
Meet Sokhat
On the outskirts of Siem Reap, Cambodia, 13-year-old Sokhat and her mother Khon live in a hut made from bamboo and palm leaves, just big enough for them to sleep and cook. When storms pass through, the hut shakes. “I just wait and hold my daughter tight,” Khon says. Sokhat is Khon’s only child; her pride and joy – and while she owns little more than the small hut and the clothes on her back, she would give the world to Sokhat if she could. “If I had money I would give it to Sokhat for her to get snacks,” she says, “but I don’t.”
Today is a good day for Sokhat and her mother Khon. A large bag of rice and a tin of oil has just arrived at their home, which provides them with two months’ worth of meals. “I like my mum’s cooking,” Sokhat says. “She uses the rice and cooks vegetables and sometimes fish.” Not only is Sokhat eating well at home, at school she receives breakfast every day before class too. “After breakfast I feel full. It’s good. It tastes good too.” What Sokhat doesn’t realise, is that without this food support, she would be forced to skip meals, and even be made to work.
“This program has changed my life and it helps my daughter go to school,” says Kohn.
Through our support of the school feeding program, thousands of children like Sokhat will now receive a healthy breakfast so they too can learn and thrive.
