TerraCycle has opened a large new operations center in Aurora, Illinois, transforming the historic former Henry Pratt factory into a hub for sorting and distributing hard‑to‑recycle materials. The 100,000 square foot facility processes hard‑to‑recycle items such as snack wrappers, coffee pods, beauty packaging and cigarette butts collected through TerraCycle programs and Zero Waste Boxes. This expansion strengthens TerraCycle’s capacity to keep challenging waste streams in use and out of landfills while supporting growth across North America.

Reusable food storage options like Stasher bags can help cut down on single-use plastic waste from snack bags, sandwich bags and other disposable packaging. While reusable bags reduce the need for one-time plastics, many food packaging items still end up in the trash because they are not accepted through curbside recycling. TerraCycle provides recycling solutions for these hard-to-recycle materials so they can be kept in use and out of landfills. Pairing reusable products with responsible recycling options gives consumers more ways to reduce waste and support a circular approach to everyday packaging.
