Terracycle
Tom Szaky and Jon Beyer developed their system for worm composting of food waste while in college, and began using the resulting vermicompost to make a liquid plant fertilizer, which is now sold in Home Depots and other stores across North America. Because Szaky and his company TerraCycle are committed to recycling wherever possible, they package their products in reused plastic soda bottles, collected through school recycling drives. The product is meant to show “the power of worm poop.”
The Solid Waste Resource Renewal Group has worked with TerraCycle since its earliest days, helping with initial product development and placing TerraCycle at the Rutgers New Jersey EcoComplex as an incubator company.
