TerraCycle is a company like no other: By reversing the production cycle and beginning with waste, the company produces all-natural, eco-friendly products. TerraCycle started with plant fertilizer and has expanded into bird feeders and drain cleaners. By taking waste and transforming it into sellable products, the company reduces the amount of garbage that enters landfills every day.
TerraCycle begins by feeding organic, composted waste to worms, then takes the worms’ castings (or poop) adds water, thus creating liquid plant fertilizer. The entire production process takes about three weeks. Then, the company packages the fertilizer in recycled plastic bottles collected by schoolchildren, and tops the bottles off with trigger sprayers leftover from large corporations. And not only does the fertilizer reduce different kinds of waste, it surpasses any other chemical fertilizer’s efficacy on the market! Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle, has stood up for what he believes is a better kind of capitalism, and we are excited to see these changes occur in the marketplace.
