Innovative Business Model: TerraCycle

Interview with Tom Szaky - In 2001, as a college freshman, Tom founded TerraCycle in hopes of building a new, more responsible way of doing business. TerraCycle (www.terracycle.net) represents a new generation of company, putting as much emphasis on its social and environmental impact as its profits. TerraCycle has revolutionized the industry by making eco-friendly and affordable products from waste materials. We’ve since begun working with the likes of Kraft, Nabisco, Stonyfield Farm, and Honest Tea to lessen the environmental impact of their operations. TerraCycle also provides jobs in the inner-city, provides free fundraisers for schools and non-profits and inspires kids nationwide to make a difference locally and globally. Join the TerraCycle eco-revolution by signing up for our free fundraising collection programs where we pay you for packaging like drink pouches, yogurt cups and more at www.terracycle.net/brigades.
