Breaking the Mold for Hard-to-recycle Materials

  • Monday, May 01, 2023:1:45 PM - 3:00 PM
  • Room: 289
  • Session Number: MST4

Description

Join us for a frank and transparent discussion on how TerraCycle has embraced and continues to support each aspect of the waste hierarchy – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

Tom Szaky, CEO and founder, will bring us through a holistic overview of TerraCycle's various business units and the community and corporate partnerships that enable them to thrive. Tom will highlight the collection options that citizens, facilities and businesses can engage with and/or sponsor to drive recycling efforts for traditionally non-recyclable products and packaging, highlighting how products travel through the supply chain from start to finish. He will also discuss the transition to a circular economy and their work on closed loop solutions, innovative end-products and reuse (and refill) opportunities.

Hear how some of these unique offerings and partnerships have developed, some out of necessity, some organically (pun intended). Bring your questions, Tom will leave ample time at the end for audience Q&A.
