Talk:TerraCycle

message: Hi all, I'm confirming that I know personally that this company had employees edit the page in the past, starting in 2006 and ending in 2014. 
I know because I was solicited to work on it, on a referral at a wine enterprise I used to work at as an intern. I did not take the work. I did edit the page, which has been extensively modified since. 
It's unclear who edited in the past with a connection the company, but I do see a list of names on the talk page and I don't believe editing was done in bad faith. My understanding is also that this company does not want to edit it. I've explained that the talk page, here, works fine, for edit requests, if any. Most edit requests seem to be along the lines of names and basic information updates. 
I hope this helps. Raffybund (talk) 20:38, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Confirmations of employees editing, adding disclosures 

message: A documentary from Danish national TV documents that large amounts of plastic are not recycled as TerraCycle promises, but burned in Bulgaria and Turkey.  There is a lawsuit against TerraCycle for not recycling what they promise. . Somebody who knows more about this, please add a section, and watch that it is not reverted. Agnerf (talk) 14:19, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: German national TV made a documentary about „the recycling lie“ and they mentioned TerraCycle (at 51:00 min). The documentary team found plastic waste from Great Britian with TerraCycle shipping label in Bulgaria. They confronted TerraCycle founder with their findings but he didn‘t know something about this. The company later announced that this was a mistake from one of supplier in GB and that they solved that issue and get the waste back to GB and recycled it.

thread_title:  Greenwashing allegations 

message: Two separate edits have been made recently, both attempting to delete/minimise properly-sourced content referencing criticism, and both very quickly after the information was added. These look like the work of either TerraCycle themselves or an image management agent.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.187.88.97 (talk) 01:39, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Given that one of us is adding factual and relevant information that TerraCycle, specifically, might not like to be widely known, and the other keeps trying to delete it under various pretences, I think it should be clear to most people what's actually going on here. For the record, I have no connection to Panorama at all, and to reiterate, Wikipedia has a very specific policy on paid editing, which includes a disclosure requirement. 81.187.88.97 (talk) 23:14, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

text: As stated, I have no connection to Panorama or the documentary. I also note that at the top of this talk page there are several editors of this page listed as having possible personal or professional connections to TerraCycle. 81.187.88.97 (talk) 09:12, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

text: Another new IP trying to delete criticism: 75.104.70.181. No previous Wikipedia edits, same edit behaviour. 81.187.88.97 (talk) 08:56, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

text: As clear a case of projection as I've ever seen. 81.x is clearly not here marketing for the BBC. MrOllie (talk) 21:17, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Suspicious edits 

message: In 2022, BBC Panorama aired a documentary on TerraCycle's UK plastics recycling program, reporting that bales of packaging processed on behalf of TerraCycle were shipped to Bulgaria as waste instead of recycled in the UK.[44] This markets the film sufficiently. Move to the talk page to identify what, if anything else, is relevant. Marketing the film belongs, at best, on BBC's page, where it still would look like insignificant soap, beyond the above content, which states the relevant facts. The time allocated on the film also, appears to be 4-5 minutes discussion out of a full-length documentary. If there becomes enough sources on the film itself, it warrants its own page.

thread_title: Marketing BBC Panorama

message: Panorama continues to bloat the page with poor writing and grandiosity. 
Keep sources, but conciseness continues to be lacking. This page could use an extra set of eyes so it makes sense without movie producers attempting to use it to market their film. 75.104.70.181 (talk) 18:49, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Creator of this and the "Marketing BBC Panorama" sections is the same entity - see edit behaviour/history of the relevant IPs: 47.198.237.50, 204.110.62.174 and 75.104.70.181. 81.187.88.97 (talk) 09:01, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

text: 81.187.88.97 keep the sources, but using so many flowery adverbs doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. 47.198.237.50 (talk) 14:49, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Panorama movie marketing  

message: Moving to the talk page, we should keep this legal section:
In November 2021, TerraCycle and several consumer-goods companies in TerraCycle's recycling programs settled a lawsuit brought by Last Beach Cleanup, which alleged that product labelling failed to disclose limits to the total quantity of packaging that would be recycled via TerraCycle under the terms of participation. On settlement, the consumer-goods companies agreed to change labels and TerraCycle paid Last Beach Cleanup's legal fees.
It's clearly written and follows a reputable source, without meandering editorializing. 47.198.237.50 (talk) 19:55, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

message: , I did some cleanup on the wording and removed the tag you placed. If there is any objection let me know and I will take a closer look. CNMall41 (talk) 23:06, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Not especially watching the page, but your judgment is trustworthy. If you think it passes whatever muster it must, I'll abide that. What mostly caught my eye was it being used as a coatrack to inflate somebody's docu. Hyperbolick (talk) 07:11, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As I was the original contributor on the content on the documentary, "it being used as a coatrack to inflate somebody's docu" would be a reference to my edits. To restate from above, I have no association with the BBC, Panorama, or the documentary. My motivation for the addition of that content is not to inflate someone's documentary, it is to add a relevant third-party point of view on TerraCycle's operations from a reputable source. 81.187.88.97 (talk) 09:32, 4 August 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Date of logo conception

message: Sorry for my English, I'm Brazilian. A few months ago I watched the BBC News documentary called "The recycling myth" (translated name) and noticed that there is no information about the topic here on the Terracycle Wikipedia page. So I came to this discussion page and saw that others had already made similar comments. Some made edits to the page, which were later deleted. What will be done? And how can we help? Everyone should know about the Greenwashing accusations involving Terracycle. 1mathp (talk) 00:24, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
