Tom Szaky is founder and CEO of TerraCycle, an international leader in innovative sustainability solutions that creates and operates first-of-their-kind platforms in recycling, recycled materials, and reuse. Across 21 countries, TerraCycle is on a mission to rethink waste and develop practical solutions for today’s complex waste challenges. The company engages an expansive multi-stakeholder community, from Fortune 500 companies to schools and individuals, across a wide range of accessible programs.

TerraCycle launched the circular reuse platform Loop in 2019, and since then, it has developed into the leading global reuse platform. Available in France and Japan, Loop enables consumers to purchase products in durable, reusable packaging and is a key step in helping to end the epidemic of waste that is caused by 'single-use' consumption.

Tom and TerraCycle have received hundreds of social, environmental and business awards and recognition from a range of organizations including the United Nations, World Economic Forum, Fortune Magazine, Time Magazine and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Tom is the author of four books, Revolution in a Bottle, Outsmart Waste, Make Garbage Great and The Future of Packaging. Tom created, produced and starred in TerraCycle’s reality show, “Human Resources” which aired on Pivot from 2014-2016 and is syndicated in 20+ foreign markets on Amazon and iTunes.
