TerraCycle
During the summer of 2010, Rachana Patel interned on the Business Development team at TerraCycle. There, she pitched new deals to several brands (small to large) in order to generate new business. She also performed extensive market and brand research to structure a project called í¢â‚¬Å“World of Wasteí¢â‚¬ . This project will be a resource providing information on how and where to recycle all types of waste. The project allowed TerraCycle to identify strategic partnerships as well. Finally, Rachana created a Consumer Motivational Survey and developed an implementation plan with TerraCycle's Brigades Team in order to evaluate brigade members' motivations.
