“repurpose” In Action: A customer sent in photos of how they put our Aluminum Composite Panels to work—using them to trim out exterior openings and add wall panels on their building. It was a straightforward install that cleaned things up and gave the space a finished look. Thank you SariSand Tile!

“repurposing”HOW/TO: Need to cover an area larger than our biggest Billboard Vinyl? No problem. Jesse in Michigan glued multiple Billboard Vinyls together using HH-66 Vinyl Cement (easy to find on Amazon) to create a custom-sized cover for the job.
Q: Do you have a “repurposing” tip of your own? Maybe a favorite product, tool, or technique you use when working with used materials? Send us the details—we’d love to share it.

MISCONCEPTION: A lot of people assume the typical “repurposer” is lower income. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Our customer base is full of high-net-worth individuals and companies—you can see it every day in the newer trucks rolling through our yard, like this one we loaded Poly-Iso onto.
Here’s the part people miss: Many of them are successful because they save serious money by buying used materials to solve real problems.

FEEDBACK: “I picked up one of your Collapsible Bladders to use as a pipe plug while pressure testing a section of irrigation line on the farm. It worked like a charm—sealed up tight and held pressure with no problem. Way easier than messing with rigid plugs.” – Mike in Nebraska

“repurpose”MISSION: This year alone, we saved 12,094,230 pounds of material from the landfill. That’s millions of pounds “repurposed”, reused, and put back to work where it actually belongs. And it all started with materials getting a second shot.

Customer Suggestion: “Your Escalator Handrail would make a solid border for a flower bed or garden. It bends to match the shape of the space and holds up even when hit by a weed-eater. While it no longer meets code requirements for escalator use, it still has plenty of life left in the ground.” – Jeff in Oklahoma

Customer Use: One of our customers used Hydroxypropylmethyl Cellulose as a thickening agent when mixing a paint stripper. Adding it helped the stripper stay where it was applied, making the process easier to control during use.
