It’s encouraging to see the increasingly wide assortment and availability of products made from recycled materials, but there’s a problem on the other end: A lot of things aren’t accepted for recycling by curbside collection services, at least not in the US.

From trash to treasure (August 14, 2008)
Tom Szaky's company, TerraCycle, makes products from garbage and expects to bring in $15 million this year. He's not aiming for the Whole Foods crowd. His stuff -- reusable totes made from plastic bags, pencil cases from juice boxes, fertilizer from worm poop -- is on the shelves at Home Depot, Target and Wal-Mart.

Interview with Tom Szaky, CEO of TerraCycle (August 14, 2008)
You asked Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle, all your trashy questions (ha ha ha, I'm so funny). And he answered them!
