This is the fastest, densest interview I did so far, both in terms of information and topics we covered! Talking to Tom is like surfing through Wikipedia: for every topic, he has the facts and figures and a nice interesting story. Terra Cycle, Tom’s company, is a world leader for recycling of “non-recyclable products”, operating in 20 countries today, and what I found most fascinating about Tom and Terra Cycle is how imaginative they are with the purpose of reducing waste.
In our conversation we cover Terra Cycle’s purpose, its busineß model (getting everybody to the table and figuring out a way how everybody can benefit - simply great!), his personal path to being a social entrepreneur and why the ultimate answer to waste is not Terra Cycle, but something else… ;-)
