Industry leader, dominating search engines
Not because it’s impossible, but because it’s not profitable.
Traditional recyclers only accept materials that are profitable to recycle, based on their recovered material value alone, like aluminum and cardboard. Everything else, from cosmetics to shoes, cost more to recycle than the resulting materials are worth. TerraCycle specializes in building business models that allow the hard-to-recycle to be recycled.
