Reuse Everything Institute, Inc. hasn't added a story.
The Reuse Revolution (RR) is a program created by the Reuse Everything Institute, Inc. (REII), a Pittsburgh-based non-profit dedicated to uncovering ways of using knowledge and resources for better ecological management of human activity. The RR program trains and equips aspiring entrepreneurs with REII’s patented technology to run their own plastic reuse start-ups. REII technology reshapes waste plastic bottles into construction products, such as fencing, roofing and greenhouses that are of high quality and affordable.
The RR program was created after a decade of extensive field research by REII’s co-founders, Vananh Le and Dr. David Saiia. REII co-founders originally created REII’s technology in response to solid waste issues in rural Ecuador, where they were conducting field research. In 2009, REII employed its nascent technology to build the first plastic thatch roof at the FM Ecological Reserve in Ecuador. This roof has proven to be superior to other roofing options not only in its performance, but because of the positive environmental and economic effects of RR. Based on the success of the field tests in Ecuador, REII is ready to employ its technology in Pittsburgh to create useful construction materials and provide much needed employment to under-served people in our city.
Not only does RR create entrepreneurial jobs, but it also inspires students to learn about creating a sustainable future through creativity and innovation. RR has already inspired hundreds of student and professional engineers to assist REII in the process of creating the next generation of semi-automated machines that will be deployed through the RR program. The RR program has the potential to create 1,000s of job. The RR program works at the neighborhood level to establish renaissance capitalism- wealth generation that creates a vibrant local economy while it cleans the environment.
