TerraCycle, founded by Tom Szaky, is a global leader in the field of collecting and repurposing hard-to-recycle waste. From its humble beginnings in 2001, it now operates in over 20 countries, engages over 60 million people and recycles, reuses and upcycles billions of pieces of waste through its numerous innovative platforms.

TerraCycle is unique in the world of waste management: its worldwide offices are made entirely from upcycled waste, its walls are decorated with constantly-changing graffiti from local artists, and it thrives on a culture of high-energy innovation and transparency.

TerraCycle partners with many municipalities and manufacturing facilities around the world to provide zero waste solutions for a wide range of waste streams; from small, unusual waste such as cigarette butts to large quantities of difficult-to-recycle waste. Its Zero Waste Box™ platform allows for the collection and recycling of almost any type of waste, from pens and coffee capsules to complex laboratory waste.

TerraCycle has won over 200 social entrepreneurship awards and continues to provide affordable recycling solutions for previously non-recyclable items. Its mission is Eliminating the Idea of Waste®.
