Your donation directly supports our mission to reduce waste and restore forests. Funds help us transform discarded materials into new products through material recovery, funding machinery & refurbishing supplies, and expand our impact through community education programs. In turn, the more waste material we process, the more we can sell and donate those proceeds towards reforestation. TEP is run by volunteers, so 100% of donations are going towards the mission.
