Terracycle: ‘Fastest Growing Lawn & Garden Company in America’
It’s been awhile since we’ve sent a ’shout-out’ to our friends at Terracycle, and what better day to do so than the same day we congratulate two other inspirational green entrepreneurs (a.k.a ‘The Method Men’).
The above YouTube video is a number of months old, but it’s definitely worth watching - especially if you are not yet familiar with Terracycle. But definitely don’t watch if you are offended by the term ‘worm poop’! LoL
Another great video I highly recommend watching is found at ‘HP Enterprise TV’ (thanks to Linton for the heads-up at Hugg.com). You can access it >>HERE<< (you MAY have to scroll through the videos - keep your eye out for Terracycle on the top row).
Some interesting tidbits gleaned from the vids:
- Terracycle currently growing 400-600% per year (according to Tom Szaky they are the ‘fastest growing lawn & garden company in America’)
- [Not surprisingly] they are already shopping around for a much larger facility than their current headquarters in Trenton, New Jersey
- This year they launched 10 new products, and they are hoping to double that in 2007
- Every aspect of the business is handled ‘in-house’ (no marketing agencies, no printing firms etc etc)
- Szaky has his sights set on taking out Miracle Gro and becoming America’s #1 fertilizer! (wow)
Very very cool! I just can’t get enough of these guys.
Be sure to check out the Terracycle website as well. It looks as though they’ve added a fair amount of new content since the last time I was there.
