TerraCycle's goal is to eliminate the idea of waste by creating national collection and repurposing systems for all hard to recycle waste. TerraCycle’s Brigade® programs directly engage consumers in the collection of these hard to recycle packaging and products. The collected waste is then either upcycled into new products or recycled in to new materials from which innovative products are made.
Collaborating and partnering with TerraCycle can range from simply signing up for a Brigade and starting to collect a waste stream, to launching a national Brigade program for your company’s packaging or product waste. We work with a range of Brigade partners from small organizations to some of the world’s largest CPG (consumer packaged goods) conglomerates.

We partner with large multi-national conglomerates, as well as privately owned small businesses and can collect everything from aluminized drink pouches to dirty diapers. Through our material sciences team, we have found many ways to process and reuse the collected waste and have yet to find a waste stream we cannot solve.
