Tom Szaky Biography

Tom Szaky is the founder and CEO of TerraCycle, a company that enables customers to collect typically non-recyclable waste that is then reused, upcycled, or recycled into thousands of different consumer products and materials. These products and materials are then sold at the biggest retailers in the world, such as Wal-Mart and Target. More than 100 environmental and social accolades, including two Home Depot Environmental Stewardship Awards, have been given to TerraCycle, which has been recognized as America's leading manufacturer of environmentally responsible goods. Tom left Princeton University as a first-year student to create TerraCycle, leading the business to become the 288th fastest-growing company in America while doubling in size every year since its founding. Tom is the star of the National Geographic Channel television program "Garbage Moguls," which has produced a book titled "Revolution in a Bottle," earned more than 50 accolades for his business acumen and blogs for Treehugger and the New York Times. Today, TerraCycle operates in over 21 countries, has over 30 million participants in its waste collection programs, has collected over 4 billion pieces of garbage, and has donated over $5 million to charities to collect that waste. TerraCycle does this through partnerships with virtually all major CPG companies, from Kraft Foods to Kimberly-Clark. From "60 Minutes" to Oprah to the Wall Street Journal, TerraCycle has been mentioned in almost every major media outlet and is working to do away with the concept of waste!
