Organizations Can Fund Themselves Through ‘Upcycling’

David D. Simons is the global digital media marketing manager for TerraCycle in Trenton, New Jersey. It’s a private small business that recycles hard-to-recycle waste into a variety of affordable, sustainable consumer products and industrial applications. The practice of using materials that would normally wind up in the landfill to become raw materials for a second, third or more generation of saleable goods is known as ‘upcycling.’
