TerraCycle On-Demand

Web App Content Design

Objective

Brands partner with TerraCycle to create recycling programs for their products and packaging. Through a new product—TerraCycle On-Demand—the company sought to offer a budget-friendly, do-it-yourself recycling program to small and medium businesses.

But recycling can be confusing, and this was an unprecedented product. The team needed to build a user experience that would keep customers confident throughout the program creation process.

Wrote all UX copy, including empty states, tooltips, and conversion flows
Aligned copy with TerraCycle voice and style, and created separate style guidelines for wording specific to On-Demand
Created FAQs for TerraCycle Help Center and marketing copy for product launch
Presented copy to upper-level management, including the CEO, and integrated feedback
As part of the product testing team, reported bugs and points of friction in the journey

I worked closely with the UX design team, graphic designers, innovation division, and company leadership throughout the process.
