Tom Szaky is proving that one man’s waste is everyone’s treasure. His company, TerraCycle, Inc. is eliminating the idea of “waste” by creating easy-to-use collection systems and recycling processes that allow people to recycle materials previously considered “non-recyclable.”

TerraCycle is an international upcycling and recycling company that collects difficult-to-recycle packaging and products and repurposes the material into affordable, innovative products.

Another way to reduce your waste is through Terracycle. Terracycle is an international recycling and upcycling company that will collect items that are normally hard to recycle. For example, packaging and products such as empty make-up containers, cheese and dairy packaging, cleaner packaging, drink pouches as well as cell phones, iPods and MP3 players, inkjet and toner cartridges, laptop computers and E-readers

We always encourage parents to recycle their pouch to help reduce waste. Ella’s Kitchen has partnered with TerraCycle to create the Baby Food Pouch Brigade, a free recycling program for baby food pouches and caps. Parents can find out more about how to recycle with Terracycle at ellaskitchen.com

“TerraCycle pays two cents each to a nonprofit for everything — all these weird freaky things you can recycle, like a pen when it’s out of ink, you can send anything you write with,” Lane says. “A lot of people think it sounds too good to be true, a lot of people think that, but they don’t want any money, there’s no down payment or investment, all you need is some sort of device to put your stuff in.”
