TerraCycle is trying to eliminate the idea of waste
"Investor Circle allowed us to meet the socially conscious investors that we had never had a chance to interact with before. Within months we had closed a major round of financing and gained unprecedented support from the people we met."
-- Tom Szaky, CEO
About TerraCycle:
TerraCycle manufactures affordable, potent, organic products that are not only made from waste, but are also packaged entirely in waste. TerraCycle Plant Food™ is made by feeding premium organic waste to millions of worms. The “worm poop” is then liquified into a powerful organic plant food and bottled directly in used soda bottles.
The TerraCycle story started in 2001 when two Princeton University students set out to change the way people do business. Inspired by a box of worms, these students had a dream: a company could be financially successful while being ecologically and socially responsible. Co-founders Tom Szaky and Jon Beyer were determined to turn the worm box concept into a real-life, commercially viable process. That summer, they developed prototype equipment and proved their concept was feasible by reprocessing solid waste from dining halls at Princeton University.
