TerraCycle Inc. is a pioneering company dedicated to eliminating the idea of waste by recycling hard-to-recycle materials. Founded in 2001, the company has grown to become a global leader in waste management and recycling solutions. With a mission to create a circular economy, TerraCycle partners with individuals, businesses, and municipalities to collect and repurpose waste that would otherwise end up in landfills.

By providing accessible recycling options, TerraCycle empowers consumers to take an active role in reducing waste.

This includes creating biodegradable and compostable materials that reduce environmental impact. The company’s commitment to sustainability extends to its operations, where it strives to minimise its carbon footprint and promote eco-friendly practices.
