Making garbage useful with Tom Szaky of TerraCycle

This podcast episode tells the story of TerraCycle, a company that turns worm poop into liquid fertilizer and other recycled products. The founder, Tom Szaky, started the company as a student and eventually convinced Walmart to stock their product. TerraCycle later decided to pivot away from fertilizer and towards becoming a recycling facility, focusing on creating business models that solve garbage. The company has since become profitable and has launched Loop, a program that aims to eliminate waste by creating reusable packaging for consumer products.
