Tom Szaky, the Founder and CEO of TerraCycle, joined Mike Nemer for a podcast discussion about recycling on episode 305 of The Green Insider. They discussed TerraCycle’s mission to recycle items that are typically not recyclable, with Tom explaining that their offices are constructed from waste materials like soda bottles and old doors.
