The words “waste” and “garbage” have always had such negative connotations. “You’re a waste of space.” Schoolyard taunts about smelling like a garbage picker. The phrase “garbage in, garbage out,” which refers to something made with low quality materials that will also yield a low quality final product.
Tom Szaky, the 28 year old CEO of Terracycle, sees waste differently. While he has brought garbage into his company, it seems that the outputs have been nothing short of valuable. Szaky started Terracycle as a 19 year old Princeton student. His idea? Taking food waste from Princeton’s cafeterias, having worms digest it, and producing fertilizer on the other end. The products were contained in old soda bottles. After nearly going broke, he was helped out by an investor, which led to the company getting orders into two major retailers.
THE REVIEW: nom nom nom. This is an easy lunch box, soccer practice or in the car snack. The individual portions help control how much snack is eaten. Overall, the double chocolate was the favourite (close second: oatmeal chocolate chip).
6% of the daily intake of iron per package along with 2g of fibre. It is definately a treat - but a safe peanut free indulgence.
Added-Value: Kraft Canada has partnered with
http://www.terracycle.ca/ to "upcycle" the trash from these products. Schools and groups can collect the packaging and send them to TerraCycle (they get paid about .2 cents per package) - then TerraCycle turns them into a recycled product (bag, pencil case, yoga mat holder, etc...) for re-sale. = Less landfill waste!

The Terracycle fertilizers caught my eye on Gardeners.com. They are packaged in recycled soda bottles, first of all. The fertilizers are made from worm poop. These worms are fed an all natural, organic diet. It doesn’t smell at all and is safe to use. I bought the All-Purpose Fertilizer and Orchid Fertilizer and have been using both with success. They are $7.95 each.
It looked like a cleaner form of dumpster diving as fifth graders at San Clemente's Truman Benedict Elementary School gathered juice pouches and chip bags from two big recycling bins. While other students played handball just yards away, the fifth graders boxed up trash that would soon be turned into backpacks, kites and other products.
The process is called upcycling and it's part of a new Orange County Department of Education initiative to encourage schools to reduce waste. Schools across the county have been recycling for years, but the new Project Zero Waste OC initiative aims to pump up the volume on those programs, said Lori Kiesser, a Department of Education representative.
