I recently had the amazing opportunity to travel to the TerraCycle Mexico office in Monterrey. My assignment was to upcycle their office from materials that would normally be scrapped. In just over a week, the space was transformed from a traditional office space to three floors furnished entirely from remade materials. The resulting interior demonstrated TerraCycle’s commitment to sustainability and makes the statement that recycled materials can be functional and fashionable.

If you are not familiar with TerraCycle, it is a company that focuses on creating systems that will upcycle items that are considered to be hard to recycle (such as cigarette butts). With the hopes of being able to keep cigarette butts off of the sides of highways and out of landfills, TerraCycle has recently partnered up with Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Co. in the hopes of being able to create some viable alternatives for cigarette waste.
