TerraCycle Global Foundation has removed over 2 million pounds of waste from waterways, preventing ocean pollution. The nonprofit works with local communities and governments in Bangkok, utilizing river traps to recover and recycle waste from Thai canals.

Founded by TerraCycle, the organization ensures collected litter is repurposed, avoiding landfills. Executive Director James Scott emphasizes the holistic approach in reducing plastic waste and providing safe employment.

The Foundation has committed to expanding its cleanup model to another region in Southeast Asia and to develop a material recovery center.
