A TerraCycle On-Demand program may be right for you if:
- you’re looking to quickly offer recycling solutions to your customers
- you’re interested in a solution you can manage to your budget and that has no long-term contract
- you would like to have the option to share the cost of recycling with customers

TerraCycle On-Demand recycling programs are available for the following waste streams.

TerraCycle On-Demand is perfect for an organization looking to quickly launch a low-cost recycling program. With a monthly subscription of just $99, set up and manage a recycling program using our self-serve program builder. Order recycling solutions, which will be available to your customers through the TerraCycle website, as needed. Subsidize the cost 100 percent to make the solutions free to your customers, or you may share the cost by choosing a lower subsidy level.

TerraCycle Enterprise free recycling programs are fully brand-sponsored, meaning that under contract, the brand partner pays 100 percent of the cost of the program. The program appears on our Free recycling programs page. TerraCycle manages the program to a set recycling budget, provides regular reporting and support, and provides customized PR and marketing support to drive awareness of your recycling program. Enterprise-level programs cannot be created through the TerraCycle On-Demand program builder. Contact us to learn more about Enterprise.

TerraCycle On-Demand recycling programs are designed to be affordable. There are two pricing components. One is a $99 monthly subscription fee that gives you 24/7 access to our automated program builder to manage your program and re-order recycling solutions. The other is the cost of the recycling solutions (envelopes). You can select the types of recycling solutions and the quantities of each you wish to order. With a TerraCycle On-Demand recycling program, you can subsidize the cost of recycling solutions 100 percent (making them free to your customers) or choose a lower subsidy to share the cost.

You’ll manage your TerraCycle On-Demand program through our automated program builder. Review your inventory, order more recycling solutions, adjust the amount you subsidize per solution, and more, all on your terms. If you ever need support, visit our Help Center for answers to frequently-asked questions or to contact us directly.

TerraCycle On-Demand recycling programs involve no long-term contracts, so you can cancel anytime.

Shipments of waste are sent to one of our local TerraCycle Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs). The materials are sorted based on material characteristics and composition, using a wide variety of sorting technologies. Once sorted by category, the different material types are cleaned and then sent to third-party partners to process the materials into usable forms. After we recycle the waste into raw material, it’s sold to manufacturing companies who produce the end product and complete the recycling journey. Learn more about Terracycle’s recycling process.
