Legendary entrepreneurs are intuitive category designers. To become one yourself, open your mind to the pain points, frustrations and foibles that drive your prospective buyers nuts... If you look at nature, there is no such thing as a useless output. And that was the "aha" moment for Hungarian-born entrepreneur Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle, a company on a mission to eliminate waste.
As a former smoker, to me the only thing worse than the stale smoke smell that lingered in my hair and clothes was the stench of spent cigarette butts... Counted by piece, cigarette butts top the city’s litter list and are the second most common item found during shoreline cleanups. Many people don’t realize they can be recycled. Once or twice a week city crews empty the receptacles and the butts are shipped to TerraCycle’s recycling plant in Ontario.
One solution that solves the issue of space when disposing of spent bulbs is a drum-top bulb-crusher like the
BulbEater... The BulbEater® captures the mercury with a 5-stage HEPA filtration system, safely locking hazardous mercury vapor in the carbon stage.
My kids are truly ALWAYS hungry. I like to take nutrient dense foods along that are also easy to grab and go. The Love Child Organics products have really come in handy for us this summer... And thanks to Love Child’s new partnership with TerraCycle Canada, the pouches are recyclable, which supports our family’s constant mission to reduce waste.
TerraCycle’s partnership with Procter & Gamble and SUEZ to put out a fully recyclable shampoo bottle made from beach plastic for Head & Shoulders creates a market for this material, viewing it as more sustainable, economically and environmentally, than producing additional plastics.
Most packages for potato chips, some snack cakes and other munchies are made from aluminum laminated with polypropylene, which makes them difficult to recycle. However, you can mail certain snack bags to
Terracycle, which will recycle them and give you rewards.
As part of L’Oréal USA’s annual Volunteer Day, Garnier USA sponsored an opportunity with TerraCycle and GrowNYC where employees worked to install a community garden at the El Gallo Social Club in Harlem, NY. The garden was made from post-consumer recycled beauty empties collected through the TerraCycle Personal Care and Beauty Recycling Program that is sponsored by Garnier USA.
According to a news release issued last week, the Downtown Frederick Partnership recently received a Keep America Beautiful grant to purchase 30 cigarette butt receptacles from a recycling company called TerraCycle.
We're in the middle of a heat wave and I plan to spend all day in the park. Unfortunately, this means reverting back to my old deodorant, because the Aesop one isn’t going to cut it. I take my makeup off using the new biodegradable cotton pads and the Garnier micellar water I have.
Garnier has a partnership with TerraCycle, which means that all their non-aerosol packaging can be recycled.
The Jersey Fresh Jam is New Jersey’s premiere Hip Hop festival. Since 2005, the event has grown from a small, humble event into one the most respected celebrations of Hip Hop culture on the east coast. At the twilight of every summer, aerosol artists from far and wide converge to adorn the walls of TerraCycle INC with their signature masterpieces, while local and regionally known emcees, bands, and DJs provide the soundtrack for the days’ festivities.
