This is such a fascinating episode for anyone who wants to declutter while being mindful about the environment! I’m joined by Tom Szaky, founder and CEO of TerraCycle, who gives us a behind-the-scenes look at recycling and his unique approach to reducing waste.
We get into the truth about greenwashing, how TerraCycle recycles unique items like cigarette butts, diapers, and razor blades, and even how mindful consumption has affected how often Tom washes his hair.
If you've ever wondered what actually happens to your recycling—or felt guilty about what you can't recycle—this conversation will leave you feeling inspired, hopeful, creative, and determined to alter your consumption.
