The company claims that you can recycle practically all types of packaging with Terracycle, yet a recent  investigation exposed that the use of the Terracycle logo on packagings might be misleading consumers since there is no indication of the specific conditions needed for these items to get recycled, for example, the distance traveled for the item to get dropped at a recycling point. 

In addition, after collection, the waste is actually downcycled and turned into items such as outdoor furniture and decking and playground surfacing, which cannot them be recycled further.
