A New Way to Recycle (June 12, 2009)
To keep items that can't be recycled out of landfills, TerraCycle reuses them to crat all sorts of eye catching new products. These include kites made out of Oreo cookie bags and backpacks sewn from Clif Bar wrappers as well as tote bags and lunch boxes made from stuff you throw away every day. To buy products or participate in the effort, go to terracycle.net for the brands the company accepts and...

And The Winner Of The Terracycle Tote-Bag Is… (May 22, 2009)
Earlier this week I ran a giveaway for a tote-bag from one of my favorite eco-friendly companies, TerraCycle. This bag is made from Frito-Lay chip bags, and The Good Human is the first site to give one away…and they aren’t even going to be available to the public until Fall/Winter 2009! So without further ado, and with a big thank you to TerraCycle, the winner chosen by a random number generator...

TerraCycle (April 27, 2009)
I saw a bit of a documentary about TerraCycle on the television last week. This company is awesome. They go garbage diving for what they can use, and make it into something usable, and market it. Tote bags made from empty 'Caprisun' pouches. Perpetual totes made from discarded single use plastic bags. Bird feeders made from water bottles. And much more.
I was amazed at what they were doing....

Pouch of pouches (April 7, 2009)
Paper, plastic or drink pouch? TerraCycle turns junk into gems by recruiting communtiy brigades to collect nonrecyclable matericals such as wine corks, yogurt cups, cookie package wrappers and in this case, drink pouches. These totes($9.99) arise from more than 7,200 groups that collect some of the fine billion non=recyclable drink pouches thrown away every year. TerraCycle donates two cents per pouch...

Revolution in a Bottle: How TerraCycle Redefines Green Business (April 2, 2009)
My book, Revolution in a Bottle, hit the streets this week. It follows the story of TerraCycle from our beginnings in my dorm room, shoveling maggot filled organic waste, to creating products we sold to Wal-Mart and other major big box retailers, getting sued by Scotts and creating “sponsored waste” programs to upcycle branded waste. It also offers insights on how we approach media and pursue new...

Revolution in a Bottle (March 24, 2009)
Smoke pot, drop out of college, scoop poop for a living, literally. That sounds like a cautionary anti-drug message, but Tom Szaky, who really did toke up a green worm poop business idea then drop out of Princeton to pursue it, is now the proud CEO of Terracycle, a famous eco-business that started out bottling worm poop fertilizer and today churns out a new upcycled product a week.
Wal-Mart,...
