Click to listen to part 1 of What Goes Around, featuring Tom Szaky, CEO and founder of Terracycle, who proposes eliminating all waste and recycling literally everything.

It’s not just tin cans and newspapers.  One man says that, from a technical standpoint, everything can be recycled – cigarette butts, yoga mats, dirty diapers.  Even radioactive waste.  You name it, we can recycle it.  But we choose not to.  Find out why we don’t, and how we could do more.

TerraCycle Inc., the Trenton-based recycler of nontraditional waste products, has been named a finalist in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s “Dream Big Small Business of the Year Award” competition, the chamber announced recently. TerraCycle is one of 17 finalists chosen from around the country, recognized for their achievements and contributions to American economic growth. Winners will be announced at a Sept. 12 ceremony in Washington, D.C., that is part of the 2017 Small Business Summit. In addition, finalists are entered in an online vote for the Community Excellence Award, aimed at acknowledging companies that use leadership and engagement to positively impact the quality of life in their community. "We are honored to be listed by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as a finalist for their Small Business of the Year award," company spokesperson Lauren Taylor told NJBIZ in a statement. "We love what we do, so it is a thrill to be recognized for the work we do every day."

Desde 2016, os alunos da Emeb participam do projeto “Aprendendo a Reciclar”, que visa coletar materiais recicláveis e dar a destinação correta, evitando o descarte irregular nas ruas do bairro.

A meta era recolher 6 mil esponjas de uso doméstico. Foram coletadas 7.028 unidades. Com esse resultado, a Emeb Deodato Janski, no Jardim Tarumã, ficou em segundo lugar na campanha nacional “Limpando Minha Casa”, realizada pela empresa TerraCycle.

Charlotte Gentric, habitante de Saint-Maurice, est à l’initiative d’un geste citoyen fort sympathique :

la collecte et le recyclage de gourdes de compote et de capsules de café au profit d’une association de défense des petits chiens.

Ces déchets polluants ne sont pas recyclés dans le circuit classique et encombrent nos poubelles alors qu’ils peuvent être valorisés. Cette jeune maman de deux enfants collecte et stocke les gourdes de compotes et de crèmes dessert vides ainsi que les capsules Tassimo et Lipton. Dès que leur nombre est suffisant, un transporteur vient les chercher pour les porter à la société Terracycle qui reverse une petite somme d’argent directement sur le compte de l’association « Teckels Sans Doux Foyer » deux fois par an.

Millions of cigarette butts have been harvested from central Melbourne's bins and will be transformed into plastic products under a city council scheme to recycle litter. The butts are dried, compressed and sent to TerraCycle in Sydney to be reused.

我们来研究下美国汤姆·萨奇创立的泰瑞环保公司的废品回收渠道：他的废品回收渠道并没有走传统的废品回收系统，而是通过网络建立了自己的废品回收网络渠道。即参与回收废品的个人用户通过注册Terracycle网站取得免费寄送废品标签，个人注册用户可获得相应积分奖励这一商业模式来实现的。

Este último é um projeto conjunto da empresa Pepsico, que produz chips, com a Terracycle, empresa dos EUA que recicla materiais de difícil reciclabilidade.
