We just started watching Human Resources this season and we already love it. First, you’ve got a group of people who are passionate about finding ways to recycle EVERYTHING. Coffee Beans? Yep, they’ve had that covered for a while.
In the latest installment of Pivot TV’s reality show HUMAN RESOURCES, a small gem of a program, the folks at TerraCycle took on a project that made many of them feel uncomfortable — used feminine hygiene products.
Human Resources: Season 2 of this workplace reality series, set at a recycling company called TerraCycle in Trenton, begins as Toni Rossi, the new global head of business development, arrives for his first day of work.
If viewers who tuned into the second season of the workplace reality show “Human Resources” on
Pivot this month came away feeling vindicated for Tony Rossi, the new guy who proved himself on trivia night, or relieved for Dan Harris, the sales director who scored an important new account, Tom Szaky, their boss, wouldn’t mind.
As most of us have recently been hearing across the media spectrum,
recycling today is in trouble. Recyclers can’t secure the margins that make recycling profitable, recovery rates are stagnant, and waste management companies are looking at the future of the U.S.’s recycling infrastructure with a skeptical eye. What can we do, as social entrepreneurs and conscious consumers, to get back on track?
Last year,
we asked TreeHugger readers if green-themed programming could make a comeback on mainstream television. We started the discussion on the heels of the premiere of TerraCycle’s newest show,
Human Resources, a reality show on Pivot based out of our Trenton, New Jersey headquarters.
It began with liquefied worm poop and turned in to a world leader in upcycling and recycling. Tom Szaky dropped out of Princeton University to found
TerraCycle, a company that specializes in the collection and repurposing of hard-to-recycle post-consumer waste, ranging from used chip bags to coffee capsules to cigarette butts.
TerraCycle began filming season one of our reality show, called “Human Resources,” we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. We wanted to make entertaining TV, while simultaneously bringing greater awareness to packaging waste and recycling.
The television remains one of the most vital tools available to “green” marketers. From product placement to
paid commercial spots, getting your product, service or mission featured on TV is an invaluable way to bring your company’s messaging directly into people’s living rooms.
