“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.
