repurposedMATERIALS

As described by our President and Founder Damon Carson, repurposedMATERIALS operates at the intersection of affordability and sustainability, as we navigate the niche landscape of finding new homes for pre-used and discarded industrial materials. Founded in 2010, our company operates with a unique business model that involves sourcing products and materials that are unwanted or are obsolete for their intended purpose and connecting them with customers who repurpose and provide opportunities for a new life. RepurposedMATERIALS provides a unique solution for the environmental and economic challenges associated with industrial waste by providing a platform where surplus materials have the potential for a second or different life instead of being discarded into landfills. Our company focuses on a wide range of materials including vinyl billboards, conveyor belts, and even the turf from sports fields. One of the key aspects of repurposedMATERIALS unique operation is our ability to think creatively and market about how these materials can be reused or repurposed. For instance, old billboards can be turned into tarps or pond liners, while used parachutes are used for sunshade or wedding decoration. This approach not only reduces waste sent to the landfills but also offers cost-effective solutions for businesses and individuals looking for affordable and unique alternatives to new materials. A few success stories highlighting the ingenuity of our customers and our hand in supporting a closed-loop economy include artificial turf from sports fields repurposed for use in landscaping or as underlayment for playgrounds, mining conveyor belting thats constantly discarded at the end of its intended life is repurposed for garden edging and walkways, and fire hose no longer suitable to firefighting is given a second life as dog toys and zoo enrichment. These examples not only demonstrate how the lifespan of these material are extended but also how our concept supports sustainable practices by reducing the demand for manufacturing new, over-engineered products and resources. Our companys model benefits and appeals to both sellers and buyers. Industries looking to dispose of surplus materials and reduce their landfill diversion practices look to repurposedMATERIALS as an outlet and resource for their sustainability efforts, while buyers benefit from access to affordable materials at prices 50-75% off compared to new. Were proud to say we rehome MILLIONS of pounds of materials from the landfills every year that still have useful applications and value as-is. By promoting the concept of repurposing our company encourages businesses and individuals to rethink their approach to waste and consumption and consider more creative and affordable solutions. As the focus on building a circular economy gains traction globally, repurposedMATERIALS stands out as a prime example of innovation, value, and ingenuity amidst of an ever-changing economic landscape.
