SUSTAINABILITY YOU CAN TRUST

Many recyclers talk about sustainability in terms of company vision statements and goals, but how can you truly verify what is real? What does the recycling process entail, and can you get accurate data as proof of where your materials end up? At g2 revolution, we set ourselves apart by offering transparency and accountability in everything we do. Our founder, Billy Watterson, built g2 revolution with a core belief in integrity, sustainability, and innovation. Since 2008, we have built a reputation as a recycling leader—offering not just green solutions, but real, verifiable data to show exactly how your materials are recycled, repurposed, or reused.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be the trusted partner that helps businesses navigate this complex terrain by providing innovative, sustainable, and compliant recycling solutions.
