Established relationships with nearly 30 new partners to coordinate national manufacturer-funded waste collection programs that are free to the public.

Was the recipient of nearly 20 awards including the United Nations Momentum for Change Lighthouse Activity Award.

"TerraCycle owes its tremendous success to the hard work, ingenuity and enthusiasm of our dedicated staff," said Tom Szaky, president and CEO of TerraCycle. "Our record-breaking growth will pave the way for new initiatives in 2018 and 2019; initiatives that include additional solutions to the immense problem of marine plastic and something we believe will change the way consumers view their everyday household products."
