The company produces TerraCycle Plant Food an all-natural, all-organic, 'goof-proof' liquid plant food made from waste (worm poop) and packaged in waste (reused soda bottles)!

It all starts with premium, source-separated organic waste that would have otherwise been destined for the landfill. This material is brought to a TerraCycle Conversion Center.

The material is then mixed together into special formulas which are then sent through a computerized microbial-enhancing bio converter where the temperature naturally rises to over 150° F. After five days the material is then automatically taken through a computerized, micro-climate controlled vermicomposting unit where millions of red worms process the material. After three weeks the worm-processed material is then separated into a fine, particle-size mixture which is then liquified over a seven day period.

Through their patent pending process, they also use garbage to package TerraCycle Plant Food. Used bottles are collected across North America, many through the TerraCycle Bottle Brigade. The bottles are then cleaned, relabeled, and filled with TerraCycle Plant Food™.

There are millions of soda bottles every day which end up in garbage cans and landfills across America. As an eco-friendly, innovator, TerraCycle packages its organic liquefied worm poop in bottles collected from schools and recycling centers from every corner of the country. It's no wonder that Red Herring Magazine named TerraCycle as one of the Top 100 Most Innovative Companies in 2004 and Inc. Magazine featured TerraCycle on its July, 2006 cover as "The Coolest Little Start-up in America"!

Most recently, TerraCycle has been named one of the 100 most innovative companies by Red Herring magazine and been awarded the Environmental Stewardship Award from Home Depot Canada. The Environmental Stewardship Award is one of only two company-wide awards given by Home Depot Canada.

TerraCycle was also featured in the story The Worm Firm in the spring 2007 issue of Better Homes and Gardens "Garden, Decks, and Landscapes" magazine.

They definitely have something since Scotts Miracle Gro Company is sueing Terracycle.
