Named the No 1. CEO under thirty by Inc. magazine in 2006 for his innovative approach to fertilizer and recycled goods, in the two years that followed (2007-2009) Tom Szaky went on to write about 30 blogitles for Inc. and a book that surely has more than 30 pages – Revolution in a Bottle.
Now it’s 2011 and he’s still under 30 but he’s worth at least 30 times 30 more than he was at the start of 2006. Tom, a Princeton drop-out, is a man on a mission to run a fully sustainable company. While he was still in his dorm room he was dreaming up TerraCycle, one of the fastest growing private companies named by Inc. magazine in 2009.
“TerraCycle’s purpose is to eliminate the idea of waste. We do this by creating a national recycling systems for the previously non-recyclable. The process starts by offering collect programs (many of them free) to collect your waste and then convert the collected waste into a wide range of products and materials. With over 14 million people collecting waste in 11 countries together we have diverted billions of pieces of waste that are either upcycled or recycled into over 1,500 various products available at major retailers ranging from
Walmart to
Whole Foods Market. Our hope is to eliminate the idea of waste by creating collection and solution systems for anything that today ends up in our trash.
In 2010 proof of the ever burgeoning green movement can be found throughout the stories that made it into the headlines of mainstream media. For instance, there were several stories of various young ladies creating prom dresses out of used gum wrappers and foil beverage pouches.
In addition, more and more items made from recycled materials such as t-shirts made from ground up soda bottles began showing up in retail stores.
This increase in repurposing materials has caused food and beverage manufacturers like Kraft Foods to stand up and take notice. Proof in point is the company's recent decision to add foil cheese packets to their pre-existing "Terracycle Collection Program."
TerraCycle’s All-Natural Liquid Worm Poop Garden Fertilizer is by far the greenest way to green your garden. Guided by TerraCycle’s mandate to eliminate waste, this fertilizer is both made from and packaged in it. Worm tailings are harvested from organic-waste fed worms and packaged in reused plastic pop bottles collected by Bottle Brigades. The Brigades, made up of community groups from across North America, receive $0.05 in exchange for each container, supporting local fundraising initiatives and diverting waste. The result: a potent fertilizer with environmental and social benefits.
