Collects and Recycles almost any form of waste, specializes in "recycling the unrecyclable"
TerraCycle is Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by recycling the "non-recyclable." Whether it's coffee capsules from your home, pens from a school, or plastic gloves from a manufacturing facility, TerraCycle can collect and recycle almost any form of waste. They partner with individual collectors as well as major consumer product companies, retailers, manufacturers, municipalities, and small businesses across 20 different countries. They divert millions of pounds of waste from landfills and incinerators each month.
In areas of the country where recycling is entirely lacking, or certain plastics are not accepted, TerraCycle's Zero Waste Box™(ZWB) is a solution for residents and businesses looking for the public system to catch up.
TerraCycle’s ZMB platform allows users to recycle almost any type of waste, from coffee capsules to complex laboratory waste (i.e. gloves, disposable clothing, pipet tips). Customers can choose the waste stream they would like to recycle, purchase their preferred box size, collect their waste, and send it to TerraCycle to be repurposed (shipping is included). ZWB are available for purchase via their Zero Waste Box website and many major retailers.
TerraCycle partners with many municipalities around the world to provide zero waste solutions such as city-wide programs for recycling cigarette butts. TerraCycle partners with many manufacturing facilities around the world to help recycle hard-to-recycle waste at the facility level. Their programs range from helping to recycle large volumes of packaging scrap to personal safety equipment. They also provide zero waste consulting and closed-loop R&D support, commercial services and route logistics, and event services.
TerraCycle reuses, upcycles, and recycles waste instead of incinerating or landfilling it. This moves waste from a linear system to a circular one, allowing it to keep cycling in the economy.
