ELIMINATING THE IDEA OF WASTE®

Human Resources Plot Synopsis

TerraCycle Include USA Human Resources Pivot
HUMAN RESOURCES is a half-hour reality series that follows CEO Tom Szaky and his team of employees at New Jersey-based TerraCycle, as their company strives to eliminate waste on a global scale by transforming trash. TerraCycle takes anything and everything that is landfill bound -- from potato chip bags to dirty diapers to cigarette butts -- and recycles, up-cycles and transforms these objects into cool and functional new products. With a mission to "eliminate the idea of waste," TerraCycle has a team that is passionate about the cause and their work. HUMAN RESOURCES features these TerraCycle employees: Tom Szaky, the founder and CEO, who is 32-year-old businessman and Princeton University dropout, but now runs a company that is currently in 26 countries; Albe Zakes, VP of Global Marketing & Communications, whose gift of reading people is a major contributor as to why TerraCycle hasn't paid a dime for any advertising since it began under his strategies; Tiffany Threadgould, Chief Design Junkie, who has an MFA in Industrial Design and before joining TerraCycle had shown her skills online with upcycled product line, ReMake It!; Dean Innocenzi, a graphic designer and Trenton-born graffiti artist, who can take any word and make it monosyllabic with his slang abbreviations; Stephen Katz, who works in the material sales department in his first stop out of undergrad after a couple of unsuccessful internships; Andrew Heine, who works in operations and stays at TerraCycle because of the social dynamic and his gift for crunching numbers; Dan Harris, joined the company as the Junior Data Analyst over two years earlier and is currently on his sixth title at TerraCycle; Grace Sica, who works in sales and was still able to manage half of the company's revenue after breaking both wrists while snowboarding; Rick Zultner, a scientist, who, in addition to figuring out which plastics mix best when pelletizing waste, Rick frequently contemplates the zombie apocalypse; Rhandi Goodman, who is in charge of customer service and managing inbound brigades, making sure that schools, companies, and individuals receive their necessary points; Stephanie 'Steph' Tsang, Senior Account Manager, who developed a love for studying human-environmental interactions while studying Environmental Psychology at Cornell University; and Dennis McNamara, Business Development Associate, who can be found road cycling and seeking out wild adventures when not working to foster new partnerships.
