Tiffany from 'Human Resources' shows us how to make an upcycled serving tray for a great conversation starter at your next dinner party.

What happens when you throw TerraCycle’s Dan Harris and a science pro together in a room with bouncy balls? You get some stimulating conversation about recycling.

The old saying of “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,” is very relevant in the life of Tiffany Threadgould, eco-lifestyle expert and Head Designer at TerraCycle, a recycling company known as a world leader in up-cycling and re-purposing products through innovation.

Pivot, Participant Media's TV network, announced today that the sophomore season of the network's critically-acclaimed docu-comedy "Human Resources" will premiere Friday, August 7 at 10PM ET/PT

TerraCycle has been so successful in its innovation that it has now become the subject of a reality TV show, 'Human Resources' depicting what goes on behind-the-scenes of a young, socially responsible "green" company. The show is designed to share the TerraCycle vision to eliminate waste.

'Human Resources' (Pivot): The Pivot channel may still be in its infancy, but it's already got an impressive batting record — like, for example, this reality show about TerraCycle, an environmentally-minded company located in Trenton, New Jersey. As one of the purported "fastest growing green companies in the world," TerraCycle and the nerdily sardonic geniuses that work there have the goal to eliminating all waste by recycling and upcycling the traditionally non-recyclable (everything from food wrappers to cigarette butts). The show follows around TerraCycle's employees – led by their eccentric boss, Tom Szaky – and falls somewhere between a self-aware workplace comedy and an environmentalist's wet dream that somehow never ventures into preachiness.

Tiffany Threadgould is living a DIY life. The Chief Design Junkie at TerraCycle, an international waste management company headquartered in Trenton, New Jersey, grew up recycling. So when it came time to furnish her post-college New York City apartment on the cheap, upcycling was a natural next step. “I was just taking cast offs from the street and making things from found objects,” Threadgould says. “It wasn’t really environmental — it was more about cost.”

As we began filming TerraCycle’s reality-television show, “Human Resources,” we quickly became aware of the challenges of walking the line between promotion and entertainment. We wanted our clients, customers, vendors, investors and staff to be comfortable with the direction of the show. But we also wanted to keep the content engaging and entertaining enough for viewers.
