Collaborating with Benevolent Capital guarantees a future built on stability and the potential for exponential growth.
TerraCycle, a globally renowned recycling company, has joined forces with Benevolent Capital, enabling access to an extensive network of influential industry contacts and valuable resources. Backed by a reputable private equity firm that focuses on investing in companies with robust business models and a track record of revenue and earnings growth, this partnership offers unparalleled support.
TerraCycle operates as a recycling company that aims to address the global waste crisis caused by overconsumption and a throwaway culture. Despite the technical recyclability of even complex trash, the majority of materials are not economically viable to recycle. Consequently, waste accumulates in landfills, causing pollution, while new products continue to be manufactured using virgin materials extracted from the earth.
Brett M. Johnson is the director of TerraCycle and this collaboration has yielded numerous favorable results and delivered beneficial effects to the environment, nearby communities, and the economy. TerraCycle’s inventive recycling solutions and Benevolent Capital’s investment strategies are in harmony with their shared vision.
The core objective of TerraCycle is to eliminate the idea of waste. This mission is achieved through the collective efforts of businesses, government entities, and individuals like yourself, who collaborate with us on a global scale to divert trash away from landfills and prevent incineration. By fostering collaboration and embracing innovation, TerraCycle has pioneered the world’s first solutions in recycling and reuse across various sectors.
