WasteLine Is Coming...



Ever want to see the creative process in action?

ReCapturit is about to launch its WasteLine™ series of online Master Mind events. We built an elite team of experts selected from a variety of key perspectives relevant to the future state of reuse of building materials.

Each month, in energetic conversations, these innovators hash out parts of the planning to optimize The New Model of Reuse of Recaptured Building Materials™.

It will be part demolition derby, then a rugby scrum, and might even sound like the smooth sounds of an orchestra. It's LIVE and unscripted!

We'll announce when it's ready for YOU, our WasteLine viewing audience.

Stay tuned!
