Terracycle Fights Back!
I wrote a post on RedWormComposting.com not too long ago about the lawsuit that Scotts Miracle Grow has filed against Terracyle.
Danielle from Terracycle just popped by the blog to let me know that there was some BBC news coverage of the lawsuit. I have added the video above and highly recommend watching it.
It seems that Terracycle isn’t going to take this lying down - they’ve decided to launch a media campaign to help drum up support for their cause.
As I mentioned in my other post, they’ve already set up a website, ‘Sued By Scotts‘, which gives a run-down of the suit and offers a funny comparison of the two companies. They also clearly demonstrate that their packaging is very similar to numerous other products on the market (more than 100), not just that of Miracle Grow.
I think this is a ridiculous suit personally. I’m convinced that Scotts is simply using its power to try and oust an up and coming competitor!
Let’s hope that Terracyle will be able to weather the storm!

I love TerraCycle and what they stand for. Stick it to the evil chemical “man”
We should all be going to our local stores and buying bottles of worm poop.
