To Szaky, waste does not exist in nature. TerraCycle is a “second chance” employer of, say, a piece of furniture, an icecream container. As Szaky points out, “The biggest problem with most green, fairtrade, and organic products is that they tend to cost more. At TerraCycle, everything is made from rubbish, and rubbish is free. People should be able to protect the planet without having to pay a cost for that right.”
