Our take
In nature, any output is utilised for a different purpose, and waste does not exist. Unfortunately, humans do not operate this way, resulting in the production of an incredible amount of waste that has cause a global garbage crisis. Terracycle aims to eliminate the idea of waste, and become a global leader in recycling non-recyclable waste.
Terracycle believes the main cause of landfills is the expense associated with recycling. Thus, they are tackling this through their business model which offers free recycling programs, funded by conscientious manufacturers, brands, and retailers.
As well as making a real impact on the environment in processing "millions of kilos a month” of hard to recycle materials, TerraCycle is generating tens of millions of dollars in revenue. The sustainable waste management company is continuing to expand, with a focusing on developing new partnerships moving forward, such as those with coffee-pod company Tassimo and global personal care brand Paula’s Choice.
