TerraCycle Overview:
Our mission is Eliminating the Idea of Waste. Operating in 21 countries, TerraCycle is a global innovator in the circular economy, specializing in reuse, recycled materials, and recycling the unrecyclable–items that aren’t typically accepted through curbside services. Our programs and solutions collect and recycle virtually any waste stream, including beauty packaging, disposable face masks, babies' nappies, cigarette butts, and chewing gum.
We drive positive change by partnering with some of the world’s largest corporations such as Royal Canin, P&G and Colgate to recycle the products and packaging into new products like outdoor furniture, playgrounds and park benches.
