Green Searching Eco-friendly Manufacturer


Turns Trash into Cash


TerraCycle’s award-win- ning entrepreneur, Tom Szaky, is turning con-


ventional manufac- turing on its head. The company now up-cycles consumer packaging waste into 186 products, available at retailers like Whole Foods Market, Petco, Home Depot, Walmart and Target. The National Geographic Chan-


nel’s Garbage Moguls, which debuted new episodes of the TerraCycle ex- perience this summer, illustrates such transformations as cereal boxes into notebooks, newspapers into pencils, cookie wrappers into kites, and dispos- able pens into trash cans. Schools and community nonprofits collect the mate- rials for payment through eco-friendly local fundraisers.
