31 May 2022 --- The ongoing saga of corruption allegations against TerraCycle’s UK operations was brought to a head last night in BBC Panorama’s investigation Recycling: Where Does My Rubbish Go? Company CEO Tom Szaky was confronted with evidence that his UK waste handler is a sanctioned criminal, that his business system’s collection and recycling rates are extremely low, and that the scheme is likely misleading consumers. TerraCycle has now severed ties with the handler and says it is even considering legal proceedings against him. Szaky also asserted that the negligible collection rates are “a start” and that consumers can fully inform themselves by “phenomenal” information on TerraCycle’s website.
