On today's episode of the Green Hour, we walk into the world of repurposing goods, exploring the work of repurposedMATERIALS. Joining us is Damon Carson, Founder and President of repurposedMATERIALS, often dubbed the "industrial thrift store," that operates across the U.S., and its goal is to reuse existing materials from industry–everything from fire hoses and barrels to brand-new products that different companies might not want to use. By acting as a middleman between companies, Repurposed Materials diverts millions of tons of waste from being landfilled. Sometimes referred to as a waste speculator or a materials gambler, Carson has made a career out of finding value in the discarded. Join us for a fascinating discussion about the environmental impact of repurposing and how this simple practice can make a big difference.
