A TERRACYLE MAGYAR ALAPÍTÓJÁVAL TALÁLKOZHATUNK A PREZI ÚJ IRODÁJÁBAN!

Tom Szaky fiatal egyetemistaként alapította meg a TerraCycle-t, hogy olyan hulladékanyagok hasznosítására találjon megoldást, amelyek újrahasznosításával senki nem foglalkozik. A TerraCycle ma már több mint száz nagy márkával együttműködve, világszerte 26 országban, 50+ millió ember részvételével gyűjti be a használt csomagolásokat és termékeket, amelyek egyébként a szemétlerakókra kerülnének.

TerraCycle heads to Australia

A novel idea and vision to make the world a better place is what caused TerraCycle to take off and the start-up is all set to take Australia by storm now. Tom Szaky, the brain behind the company, is very hopeful about his company’s debut here. Termed as the ‘coolest little start-up’ in the US, TerraCycle, took a simple idea and made it a winning proposition.

The coolest little start-up in the US

Making millions from a business that recycles cigarette butts seems stranger than fiction. But Tom Szaky is an entrepreneur bent on making the impossible possible. Szaky's company TerraCycle has been described as “the coolest little start-up in America” and “the Google of garbage”. But don't describe this super eco-friendly outfit as just another recycling company.  

TerraCycle: meet Tom Szaky in person

TerraCycle is on a mission to reduce waste on our planet through upcycling and recycling pre- and post-consumer waste. Founded in 2001 by Tom Szaky, then a 20-year-old Princeton University freshman, TerraCycle, Inc. began producing organic fertilizer by packaging liquified “worm poop” in used soda bottles. Since the inauspicious start, TerraCycle has become one of the fastest-growing green companies in the world.
