Two years since launching Australia, waste sector social enterprise TerraCycle’s business is booming, with around 70,000 people subscribed as collectors, and a number of major city councils and some of the region’s biggest firms now taking part in programs that aim to recycle “unrecyclable” waste streams.
Recycling company TerraCycle (Trenton, NJ) and Fonterra Brands New Zealand (FBNZ) have partnered to create the Fonterra Pouch Brigade, which is a free recycling program for Anchor Uno pouches or any other yogurt pouches. New Zealanders are now able to collect yogurt pouches and send them directly to TerraCycle, at no cost, where they will be upcycled into children’s pencil cases, or recycled into new products such as chairs and park benches.

"HOW far will you go?" asks an espresso-sipping George Clooney in the Nespresso television commercial. He's talking about lengths we would go for good coffee, but it's a question coffee pod drinkers of all brands should ask themselves.
2001 vom damals 20-jährigen Tom Szaky in seinem ersten Jahr an der Universität gegründet, begann TerraCycle mit der Produktion von organischen Düngemitteln. Diesen stellte Tom aus Wurmkot her, wozu er die Essensreste der Mensa an die Würmer verfütterte. Als Behältnis für den Verkauf nutzte Tom aus Geldnot alte Plastikflaschen – und damit war die Idee von TerraCycle, Produkte aus Abfall herzustellen, geboren. Heute sammeln über 60 Millionen Menschen gemeinsam mit TerraCycle Abfall, um ihm ein zweites Leben zu schenken.
