Tom Szaky’s firm, TerraCycle, recycles ~400 different products and materials. Ted asks right off the bat, “Do you really recycle soiled diapers, cigarette butts, shoes, juice pouches, and chewing gum?” Tom quickly makes clear that everything can be recycled… at a cost. He spun off the TerraCycle Foundation to support ocean clean-ups, working in Thailand on upstream waste collection… in rivers and canals before the waste washes into the oceans.
