About the organisation
TerraCycle is a social enterprise whose mission is to “Eliminate the Idea of Waste”.

Thanks to major brand partners, we work around the world to set up innovative recycling schemes. We have engaged with 80 million consumers, raised $30 million for charities and recycled over 4 billion pieces of waste. We recently took on new challenges such as transforming ocean waste into new products and offering reusable packaging services.
In 2006, TerraCycle was elected “The Coolest Little Start-Up in America” by Inc.
