USMC Gets Curious; The Monk Mindset; Factory Tour Video

August 19th, 2025 | Please feel free to forward to a colleague. SUBSCRIBE

Our Customers: We have been fascinated by the resourcefulness of some monks that are building a monastery in Wyoming. “I was trying to do some more research on the ol ‘Monk mindset’. You are right in putting us in the same box as ranchers and farmers. It is really a life focused on the next generations. A huge part is the selflessness of the older generation for the next generation. Trying to give the next generation more than you had. Better than you had. Every farmer I know is working for his wife and kiddos. The monk is working for his ‘wife’ the Catholic church, and ‘kiddos’ the whole world. That is really where it all stems from.”Brother Joseph

repurposedINQUIRY: Hello Mr. Carson, I work for the Hazardous Waste Section of the US Marines at Camp Pendleton, California. I have seen your website and find it interesting. Currently do you do any business with Government entities? Also, where and with what kind of materials do you deal with them?”Nancy

RE: Nancy, 1) Yes, we help a number of federal, state, and local governments keep stuff our of the landfills! 2) We deal with all types of durable goods and chemistry/products that are obsolete to the primary industry that we think can be “repurposed” into a second, unrelated industry.

Q: Can we help your organization with obsolete powders or liquids…chemistry, ingredients, product, etc.? If yes, send us details about what you have!
