Production
Have you ever wondered how we make TerraCycle Plant Food?
Contents
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.
Packaging
Through our patent pending process, we 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™.
Even the trigger sprayers or caps that we use are end-runs and/or leftovers from large corporations that either don't need them or have produced too many.
All of our production is completed at TerraCycle conversion centers.
