Happy Friday the 13th! Welcome to another edition of {the upcycled & recycled}!

This week I’m featuring an awesome company that does wonderful things with waste!

When I first heard about TerraCycle I was very intrigued by what they were doing and thought finally. Finally, someone is thinking! I have a real problem with the litter companies create that isn’t sustainable in any way shape or form. This is why our  landfills are reaching their limits because we have trash that won’t break down and decompose  and we have companies who continually ignore the fact our planet is in peril. Argh! It’s soooo maddening and vicious!

Founded in 2001 by a 19 year old Princeton University freshman named Tom Szaky, TerraCycle started as an organic fertilizer company and has grown into a multi-category, eco-friendly powerhouse. Tom’s dream was to find way a new, more responsible way of doing doing business that would be good for the planet, good for people and good for the bottom line!

TerraCycle upcycles waste from soda bottles, drink pouches, yogurt and chip bags into school supplies, garden products , pet products, bath products and green cleaners

Become a terracycler and start saving the chip bags, drink pouches, yogurt cups, etc. and send them to a participating school!

What waste are you upcycling in your home?
