TerraCycle is a company built on the goal of "eliminating the idea of waste" by making that which is non-recyclable, recyclable. From coffee pods and pet food bags, to cigarette butts and PPE, TerraCycle collects and recycles a wide range of waste types.
Partnering with both individual consumers and major corporations, the company's Zero Waste Box system allows consumers to fill a themed collection box with otherwise hard-to-recycle used materials and packaging in a convenient retail location, and send it back to TerraCycle via a prepaid return label. This previously non-recyclable waste is then processed to recover its value - whether through refurbishment and reuse, up-cycling or recycling.
