TerraCycle provides industrial recycling services for your company’s distribution center, warehouse, or production facility, helping you to reach your zero waste goals and finding solutions for typically hard-to-recycle materials.
Our Materials Team will work with you closely through the entire process to ensure that our industrial recycling services are customized to fit the needs of your specific facility and waste.
The first step is to help us understand the waste stream(s) that you’re generating at your facilities.
Email us and tell us about each individual waste stream (type of waste, such as PPE) you’d like us to evaluate.
A TerraCycle representative will respond with any follow-up questions about the material, at which point we will begin the quoting process.
If necessary, one of our TerraCycle team members may ask to visit your facility for a waste audit to better understand the material stream(s) and staging capacity.
TerraCycle characterizes waste streams based on the economics behind them, with a focus on three primary categories:
Positive economic waste streams:
These waste streams have enough value for TerraCycle to purchase them from your facilities, allowing for a clear economic advantage over landfilling.
Neutral economics:
These waste streams can be recycled at a cost comparable to disposal through landfill or incineration. While economic advantage may not be present, there is a clear sustainability advantage.
Negative economics:
These waste streams are more costly to recycle than their resulting value and will cost (perhaps significantly) more than your current disposal fees. While there is an economic disadvantage with these materials, the benefit for the environment is significant compared to landfill or incineration.
