TerraCycle Launch in Thailand Gets Funding from PepsiCo Foundation
According to the Ocean Conservancy, over half of the plastic that ends up in our oceans come from five countries: China, Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam, a result of rapidly growing economies and consumer demand that have not yet been met with sustainable waste-management systems.
In recognition of this growing epidemic, international recycling leader TerraCycle created The TerraCycle Global Foundation. With financial support from The PepsiCo Foundation, the company’s philanthropic arm, the TerraCycle Global Foundation is a dedicated public charity on a mission to dramatically reduce the volume of marine debris and plastic waste found in the world’s waterways.
