One of our favorite things to do is to find people or organizations coming up with some innovative ways to repurpose items that could pose as an environmental threat to our land and our lives.

The objective is to help eliminate waste through recycling. TerraCycle was founded by Tom Szaky in 2001 and to date has turned billions of units of waste into diverse recycled products. If you have any old, worn out flip-flops, regardless of their condition, do not throw them away!

This is where the company Terracycle comes in. Terracycle is a company that collects hard to recycle wastes and either recycles the materials, or upcylces them for new purposes.
