TerraCycle is Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by developing solutions to recycle the unrecyclable—items that aren’t typically curbside recyclable like cosmetics, candy wrappers, chewing gum, and even cigarette butts. We work with environmentally-conscious startups and some of the world’s biggest brands to recycle their products into raw material, which is then sold to manufacturing companies. Those manufacturers then use the materials to make new products like outdoor furniture and decking, plastic shipping pallets, tubes for construction applications, playground surface covers, and more. We’ve even recycled ocean plastic into shampoo bottles and toothpaste tubes into playgrounds! We’re continuously pioneering new and innovative recycling, reuse, and recycled content solutions for your trash. Join us in Eliminating the Idea of Waste® by visiting terracycle.com.

Hi, we’re Stasher — the simple, reusable alternative to plastic bags. Made with platinum food-grade silicone and a leak-free Pinch-Loc® seal, our bags and bowls save 260 single-use plastic bags from the ocean a year. Since our founding in 2016, we’ve earned numerous awards for design and innovation, including the 2023 POPSUGAR Wellness Award, Good Housekeeping “Kitchen Gear” Award for 2022 and 2021, and we're a two-time Global Innovation Award recipient and Wirecutter Pick. Together, our Stasher Squad has saved over 5.5 billion plastic bags from entering our oceans and waterways. And that’s not all, because every year we donate to nonprofits working for ocean health, like the Surfrider Foundation. Ditch the single-use plastic for our versatile reusables and help us Save What Matters®.

At The Recycling Partnership, we are solving for circularity. As a mission-driven NGO, we are committed to advancing a circular economy by building a better recycling system. We mobilize people, data, and solutions across the value chain to reduce waste and our impact on the environment while also unlocking economic benefits. We work on the ground with thousands of communities to transform underperforming recycling programs; we partner with companies to achieve packaging circularity, increase access to recycled materials, and meet sustainability commitments; and we work with government to develop policy solutions to address the systemic needs of our residential recycling system and advance a circular economy. We foster public-private partnerships and drive positive change at every step of the recycling and circularity process. Since 2014, we have diverted 1 billion pounds of new recyclables from landfills, avoided more than 948,000 metric tons of greenhouse gases, and driven significant reductions in targeted contamination rates.
