Why Recycling Isn't Enough (Tom Szaky Explains)
About this episode
Tom Szaky discusses the limitations of recycling and the innovative approaches of TerraCycle and Loop in addressing waste.
Nature has no concept of waste — every output is someone else's input — and Tom Szaky has spent 25 years building the company that proves it. The founder and CEO of TerraCycle, the global leader in recycling the unrecyclable — from cigarette butts to diapers to chip bags — joins Care More Be Better to share why we will not recycle our way out of the waste crisis, how Loop is finally scaling in France after failing everywhere else, and what used diapers have to do with predicting children's brain development.
