AFTER: “We’re going to use the TPO Membrane as pond liners in our aquaculture ponds.” – Rodney in New Mexico
BEFORE: “We’re doing a re-roof on a building that was hit by hail. There really doesn’t seem to be any damage on the membrane. The membrane is only about 5 years old. The insurance company totaled the roof so we’re tearing it all off. Seems like you could help us keep this out of the landfill.” – Brent
Q: Like Brent, do you have insurance salvage, or materials being torn out for other reasons, that would be a candidate for “repurposing”? We might be able to help!

In The News: Rod Rylander, one of our valued customers, was featured in an online article by Dwell. Turning our Tempered Glass, Faux Leather Naugahyde and Gym Flooring into the foundation of a sustainable, off-grid solar-powered home, demonstrating that dreams can be realized even on a budget. Like many of our customers, Rylander embodies the “repurposing” mindset: maximizing value and sustainability through creative re-use.
EXCERPT: He described himself as a hippie ‘without the haircut’ and says he understood, early on, that modern housing didn’t square with the environment or most folks’ savings accounts. He built underground houses with a twist, inventing a ‘vertical crawl space’ that keeps homes cooler in summer and warmer in the winter, with little to no HVAC. “I like to turn liabilities into assets.”
