TerraCycle CEO Tom Szaky has turned garbage into a revolutionary new industry.
The one issue remaining was that most councils are unable to recycle our pouches. That’s why we were really excited when we came across
Terracycle. Terracycle’s upcycling brigades are massive in the US but Ella’s Kitchen is only the second company to run a programme with Terracycle here
in the UK following
Kenco’s launch last year.

Have you heard about TerraCycle?
It's a really cool concept for those items that you throw in the trash that can't be recycled.
TerraCycle upCYCLEs it. They turn it into eco-friendly products that are reasonably priced.
The backpack featured is only $12.99.
I just came back from the Terracycle Green Up Shop and boy am I inspired.
Conveninently located next to the Port Authority on 41st Street & 8th Avenue, it is an awesome display of eco friendly items to be used at home, in class, on the go or even the runway.
Yes darlings, there is an entire dress made from m&m candy wrappers that is fabulous, and tons of other clothing items made from bamboo and salvaged fabric.
I am super inspired to keep making my bags and branching out into other items.Maybe next year you will see “smartalecky” in the Green Up Shop!
In honor of Earth Month, TerraCycle has opened a “green” pop-up shop at Port Authority through May 1. There are more than 200 eco-friendly items for sale, most made from common garbage such as chip bags, food wrappers, yogurt cups and glue bottles. Brooklyn-based RePlayGround will also sponsor DIY craft projects at the store, where little ones ages four and up can make wallets out of food wrappers and drink pouches. Go green!
Next time you purchase a box of Capri Sun drinks, a tube of Colgate toothpaste, a Clif bar etc.. consider hanging on to your trash and sending it to Terracycle!
TerraCycle takes a wide range of different non-recyclable waste materials and then makes affordable, eco-friendly products. Terracycle is hoping to eliminate the idea of waste by finding innovative, unique uses for materials others deem garbage. With over 50 products available at major retailers like Walmart, Target, The Home Depot, OfficeMax, Petco and Whole Foods Market, TerraCycle is one of the fastest growing eco-friendly manufacturers in the world.
Consider what happens when your kids finish drinking a Capri Sun…they toss the empty juice box in the trash which eventually ends up in a dumpster or landfill. Instead of adding the drink pouch to a pile of other pouches at the landfill, TerraCycle converts the used drink pouches into unique fashion bags, tote bags, pencil cases, and other items for kids and adults (check out the adorable Skittles bag below made from recycled Skittles wrappers)!
