TerraCycle® is the global social business Eliminating the Idea of Waste®.
We create first-of-their-kind solutions to tackle the issue from many angles – from recycling the non-recyclable, to integrating unique materials into new products, to transforming packaging from disposable to durable – with the help of our sponsoring partners.
If you are interested in funding a sustainability platform and working with us to drive change, please review our different partnership opportunities below.
If you are looking to participate in an existing program, browse our National Recycling Programs here.
Make your products and packaging nationally recyclable: TerraCycle creates national programs allowing consumers to recycle typically non-recyclable items such as flexible plastic pouches, toothbrushes, cigarette butts, and cosmetics packaging, to name just a few. We then work with your brand to leverage this platform and drive tangible marketing and sales ROI.
If you are interested in setting up a national recycling solution for your products and packaging, contact us here.
Integrate unique “storied” recycled material into your packaging: TerraCycle can develop custom supply chains to collect, process, and supply unique recycled materials that tell a story – from beach plastic to festival waste and more – for integration in your brand’s primary packaging. From there, our team works with you to leverage this story to generate sales lifts, incremental display space, positive earned media placements, and marketing buzz.
