Summary
TerraCycle CEO and co-founder Tom Szaky returns to the Environmental Transformation Podcast with host Sean Grady for an update on what has changed since his last appearance in episode 20 in 2020. Szaky breaks down why most items are “not recyclable” because of economics, not technology, and why reuse is TerraCycle’s biggest investment through the Loop platform, including what it has taken to scale in France. The conversation also digs into U.S. recycling headwinds, extended producer responsibility, Senate Bill 54 and Senate Bill 343 in California, and why education and “making it fun” can move behavior fast. Szaky also explains TerraCycle’s current Regulation CF raise, the planned Regulation A offering, and where to learn more at www.terracycle.com.
