36: The Future of Recycling with TerraCycle

Do you know what actually goes in your blue bin? How much of what we send to the recycling center can actually be recycled? And what can we do with all our hard-to-recycle materials? The traditional recycling industry has declined in recent years despite the growing awareness of its importance. Not to mention it’s a key player in combatting climate change. And while there are many at play that have led to the state of the industry, looking at the evolution from here-on-out will lead us to some exciting. Some of those solutions are spearheaded by TerraCycle, a social enterprise set on eliminating even the idea of waste! To really understand their work within the industry, we sat down with Shaye DiPasquale, publicist for TerraCycle. Join us as we discuss current projects to help reuse and recycle all materials, the different ways consumers, brands, and retailers can get in on the action and what the future of the recycling industry will look like.
