Revolution in a Bottle: How TerraCycle is Redefining Green Business

(Portfolio Press) As a Princeton freshman, author Tom Szaky co-founded a company that recycles garbage into worm poop, liquefies it, then packages it in used soda bottles. Less than five years later, this all-natural fertilizer was available in every Home Depot, Target, Wal-Mart, and more than 3,000 other locations. In this entrepreneurial success story, Szaky argues for “eco-capitalism,” in which business should aspire to be good for people, good for the environment, and good for profits.  Szaky is CEO of TerraCycle, producer of the world’s first products that are made entirely from and packaged entirely in waste.
