Tom Szaky is a passionate man of high morality with dedication to recycling and giving back to many communities and charities. He is a constant inspiration to everyone who knows him for several years.

In 2006, Inc. Magazine named TerraCycle, “The Coolest Little Start-Up in America.” That same year Tom was named the “#1 CEO in America Under 30.”

Tom dropped out of Princeton University to sell liquefied worm poop in a reuse soda bottle. Tom began to nurture his striking entrepreneurial sense at the age of 14 when he started his first venture, a web design company, Flyte Design. The company grossed five-figures and won several Canadian design awards. He went on to accomplish three small ‘dot.com’ companies.

Tom has been nominated for Today’s Honoree. Today’s Honoree gives people a chance to nominate or be nominated for a daily award by their peers. It doesn’t matter how big or small you are or how much or less money you have each Today’s Honoree has to be nominated by someone other than themselves.

Even without the investor’s money, TerraCycle had its breakthrough in 2004, selling its little-known fertilizer to The Home Depot and Walmart – two of the world’s biggest retailers. Today, TerraCycle’s Global Headquarters occupies a 25,000 sq. ft. factory in an Urban Enterprise Zone in Trenton, NJ, where it employs over 20 workers in its labor force and is a second chance employer as part of its pledge to being socially beneficial to the local community.

In 2007, TerraCycle began works with major companies such as Kraft Foods, Nestle, Kimberly-Clark, Frito-Lay, Mars, Kashi, L’Oreal and many more to sponsor the collection of post-consumer packaging. With the help of these sponsors, TerraCycle pays schools and non-profits two TerraCycle points, (one point is equal to one cent) for every piece of packaging collected.

These points can be redeemed for a variety of charitable gifts or for cash donation to the collector’s charity of choice. TerraCycle recycles or upcycles the collected ‘waste’ material into affordable, innovative products sold online and at major retailers. Today over 90,000 organizations have helped collect over 2 billion pre- and post-consumer wrappers, while earning over 3.5 million dollars in donations.
