We
spoke with our guest Tom Szaky, the young CEO of TerraCycle inc, at
7:30 this morning. Tom dropped out of Princeton to found a
company that makes a liquid palnt food -- called TerraCycle, same as
the company name -- and packages it in re-purposed discarded plastic
soda bottles. "We sell waste, packaged in
waste." Aside from being both innovative and
environmentally friendly, the all-organic, natural fertilizer is useful
and effective as well. The product is being hailed as an
ecological breakthrough, and featured by big box stores and
neighborhood nurseries alike. It is so successful in fact,
that the company has plans to introduce more products in the coming
year; currently, there are 3 flavors of Terracycle LIquid Plant
Food: All-Purpose, Orchid, and African Violet.
