Schools and Non-Profits
Leading Consumer Product Company Joins Forces with Upcycling Firm to Help
Educate and Engage Consumers While Donating to Local Communities

DALLAS and TRENTON, N.J., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Kimberly-Clark Corporation
(NYSE: KMB) has joined forces with leading upcycling firm TerraCycle to
enhance the sustainability performance of some of its product packaging. The
new program between K-C and TerraCycle also creates fundraising programs which
benefit schools and communities nationwide.

Kimberly-Clark, already a trusted leader in helping people improve their
health, hygiene, and well being, and TerraCycle are now providing a FREE way
for consumers to make a difference in their communities. The company's
partnership with TerraCycle creates new programs that allow participants to
earn funds for their selected charity of choice for every used piece of
plastic packaging associated with Scott or Huggies brands that they collect.
The collected plastic packaging will be upcycled into affordable, high-quality
products available next year at major retailers nationwide.

Already the personal products category leader in the Dow Jones Sustainability
World Index, this new plastic packaging reclamation program will enhance K-C's
ongoing sustainability efforts.

"Kimberly-Clark is already making significant strides in reducing packaging
waste from its products, but this program with TerraCycle will help us do even
more," said Matt Kolton, brand manager, Scott Naturals brand. "No longer will
all the plastic packaging from both our Scott brand bath tissue, towels,
napkins and moist wipes, and Huggies brand diapers be considered waste.
Rather, it can be used as a resource in a new generation of products."

He added, "We are pleased that TerraCycle will make it as easy as possible for
consumers to not only participate in recycling efforts, but also earn
contributions to important causes in their communities."

To help encourage the maximum participation and collection of used product
packaging, consumers can sign up for free to create a Brigade location.
Schools, business, houses of worship and even individuals are encouraged to
join a Brigade and sign up today at www.terracycle.net/brigades. For every
piece of packaging a Brigade participant collects, two cents is paid to a
school or non-profit group of their choice.

Each of these Brigade programs is diverting product packaging waste from
landfills, giving much needed funding to local communities and helping to
raise consumer awareness about reusing and reducing.

"By encouraging people to rethink what is waste, TerraCycle is making it
simple for consumers and companies like Kimberly-Clark to have a positive
impact on the environment," said Tom Szaky, TerraCycle's founder and CEO. "And
with a monetary reward as our incentive to recycle, the Brigade programs help
schools, community groups, and non-profits across the country earn funds to
support local activities."

About TerraCycle
In 2001, Tom Szaky, a Princeton University Freshman, founded TerraCycle in

countless business plan contests, Tom dropped out of Princeton to pursue his
dream of founding the world's most environmentally-friendly company. Seven
years later, TerraCycle's eco-friendly products have received a myriad of
social and environmental accolades and are sold at major retailers like The
Home Depot, Target, Wal*Mart and Whole Foods Markets. TerraCycle's business
