Do you know what Tom Szaky thinks of everything you own, eat, wear, poop and drive, from the plastic container that contains your hair product to the pricey phone you tuck into your back pocket to the discount drone you use to wage drunken dogfights with your next-door neighbor? It’s garbage. Really. Pick a spot on the space-time continuum, and the material world ultimately becomes junk. If necessity is the mother of invention, this is one inventive mother. “Garbage is such a good topic because everything in the world, one day, will be owned by the garbage industry,” says Szaky, 35, CEO and founder of TerraCycle, a Zen-like startup that specializes in finding the value in processing the most unrecyclable stuff on the planet.
