This is just the science part of the puzzle. They have demonstrated ways to recycle a lot of our waste. But, to do it on any scale requires the involvement of our government and, for at least right now, they don't care and won't make the effort. The recent problem with Taiwan returning huge shipments of recyclables to their sources is a good example of what's happening. We don't have the means to recycle what we collect already. The world isn't equipped politically to deal with recycling. So, do what you can. But don't expect anything large scale until we change a lot of politician's attitudes.

The traditional recycling system is designed to make us feel ok about consuming/making more plastic. Repurposing is really great, but to have a big environmental impact you’d have to reduce the amount of plastic on the earth. Plastic photo-decays and breaks down into smaller and smaller particles until it’s a powder. Micro plastics also come from washing our clothes, which contain synthetic materials. It’s all over the ocean, seeping into our food chain. Recycling is good, but it doesn’t entirely get to the source of the problem: the existence of decaying plastic due to consumption of plastic.

This guy is an inspiration. I'm also the same way. I'll be taking over a family business one day but if people don't have lawns anymore or have these annoying non eco friendly things called mulch and pine needles, I'll be happy to do something else. I actually hope though if people still have want these things that we move towards more eco friendly products. All the paint and artificial chemcials in these home improvement products is one of the main causes for small scale environmental products. For example, mulch. Unless the source you get it from is using biodegradable paint, it is most likely using the same type of stuff that goes into wall paint. Of course it's not too harmful once it's dried, but this stuff is literally outside getting wet all the time and getting washed away. Rubber mulch is a great alternative, but then again it is wasteful in the long run because it doesn't break down quickly if you decide to remove it. And if you use your own DIY stuff, it causes termites and all sorts of things. Luxuries and extra stuff always comes at a cost. It's frustrating that more people aren't informed. If it weren't for this, we would be SOOOO much more advanced in time than we are now. Too bad lots of people are personally greedy and only care about what they want instead of things that work for a better future for everyone.

It’s surly a brilliant idea. But I am a little skeptical about the environmental cost involved in this recycling program. What amount of water resources or electricity do they need in order to recycle one unit of trash on average? It seems to me that there are only limited percentages of waste which can be recycled into high quality products like a bag pack and rest of them simply went into a new cycle of consumerism by inventing something we don’t necessarily need. I think only by tackling the issue of over-packing and getting rid off goods we don’t necessarily need can really make a difference.

I wish one day all used packagings will not be thrown away, but can be exchanged with the factory or the manufacturer for new goods. For example, used packaging of brand A instant noodles, if collected as many as 20 packs can be exchanged for 1 pack of new packaging with the same brand. Likewise, for example, used sachets of brand B shampoo which were collected as many as 20 sachets, can be exchanged for 1 new sachet. Places of exchange are opened in large malls and shopping centers. I'm sure we can immediately solve the waste problem, and also change consumer behavior to properly store all forms of used packaging. This is more effective than the company's CSR budget which is used up for beach cleaning or similar activities, or is only exchanged for iron tumblers and pipettes, since this can not solving waste problems which are generally caused by the habits of the customers themselves. And also, customers can have a direct benefit by having their own needs, and they would buy more of the products ini this in turn benefit to producers as well. However, producers have the responsibility to re-manage their own waste packagings... The government actually also has the authority and political will to push producers by relocating company budgets for this packaging exchange mechanism.

I just checked the website, but the boxes are very expensive (for my budget). Also is that box a one time shipment or is my one time payment my ticket to continuously using that box back and forth (if so then I'd pay for it)? Please let me know!

Still want to know how to get companies to make easily / locally recyclable products and containers. In many cases, there is not such an option for classes of products? Does Terracycle charge the producer of each product they recycle? If not, the government / public law should force them too - or create the recycle streams required.

SORTING IS IMPORTANT. 99-100% of your recyclables would be accepted if you make the centre's work easier. After segregate Recyclables from trash, SORT according to category (plastic, paper, aluminium etc.). Wash, clean and dry anything that's stained. Get an open net basket so that it's easy to toss and dry anything in it, before transferring them to recycle bags according to their respective category. This is how we could all start it, because TerraCycle doesn't exists everywhere else.

My thought is always that all those things are going to get made whether or not I buy them. I try to recycle often, but I don't think my actions will ever have an impact.

I've always wondered about this. The plastic take out spoons are made of plastic material, but do we recycle it? Sadly, I don't know what Waste Management does with our recyclable goods now with China and its policy. TerraCycle needs to be global.

I have heard that recycling that is picked up at the curb is not always recycled. I don't know how to address this problem without a great deal of monitoring.

I recycle cans. I go walking every day and clean the road side and grass. Plus I get people to save for me. I do copper as well and metal I take to my neighbor. I get all I can

What about those contaminated papers, plastic, metal, and other stuff. Do they end up in the land buried?!?

Well, can you start a branch in South Africa too? Then if they put us both out of business then we'll be happy together about solving the World's waste problem? It has always been a dream of mine, i have designed many different machines and micro industrial waste processing plants...and I very much like the way you think and do...
