Szaky \u201cupcycles\u201d hard-to-recycle post-consumer waste, from used chip bags to cigarette butts, growing Terracycle to a $15 million a year
\n business with operations in 23 countries.
\n The business started with Szaky\u2019s plan to convert \u201cworm poop\u201d into
\n plant fertilizer. Terracycle continues to sell that product and has expanded its mission to envision a world with zero consumer waste.
\n People called him crazy.
\n \u201cTerracycle tries to bring solutions to garbage where there are no
\n solutions currently,\u201d Szaky says. \u201cAs a consumer, your only choice is
\n to throw it out, so we give special collection platforms and then we
\n have really high-end solutions to turn them into new things.\u201d
\n Terracycle continues to grow and succeed. <\/p>\n
