About TerraCycle: Each day people extract resources from the environment equal to 20 times the body weight of every person on the planet. What is worse, 99% of it ends up as waste.
TerraCycle aims to lead industry in changing that equation by creating revolutionary products made from and packaged in waste. TerraCycle Plant Foods™ are created by feeding organic waste to worms, liquefying their poop and packaging the liquid in reused soda bottles.
TerraCycle is a pioneer in a movement called Eco-Capitalism. This concept recognizes that natural resources such as energy, materials, water, fiber, topsoil, and ecosystems are not limitless and that the most successful companies will be those that minimize their consumption of these finite commodities.
At TerraCycle, the company actually reverses the traditional manufacturing paradigm. They consume waste as a raw material in order to create a finished product — plant food — that renews natural capital.
While some look at mounds of garbage and see waste, TerraCycle sees the material that worms turn into plant food. While some look at truckloads of discarded soda bottles and see litter, they see ready-made packaging that can be reused for their products. While some companies look at misprinted cartons and see rejects, they see shipping boxes that can be turned inside out.
TerraCycle has applied the same inside-out, reuse-if-at-all-possible thinking to their facilities. They are 'reusing' a factory in an Urban Enterprise Zone in Trenton, NJ, a challenged but once proud industrial center. And, they are committed to the community and to employing local workers whenever possible.
TerraCycle operates a worm gin in the EcoComplex's one-acre greenhouse. The worm gin is part of a closed-loop, commercial, real-life demonstration of landfill gas cogeneration. The greenhouse, office, and lab spaces at the facility are heated by landfill gas, as are the aquaculture and agriculture systems that allow for year-round production of food crops. The TerraCycle production process is not just environmentally friendly, but environmentally beneficial, producing a product that is made entirely out of trash.
