Based in Matawan, NJ, Chris and his wife Susan founded the company to increase recycling through education, community involvement and eco-friendly products. Their company is very involved in local causes. They run hands-on training and education programs designed to start and support recycle programs for schools, businesses and municipalities. Implementing recycling education programs for schools and bin collection programs for businesses shows their dedication to a greener world.
Another project of their initiative is to collect plastic bags that are sent to TREX, a composite decking manufacturer. The plastic bags are turned into an eco-friendly alternative to wood lumber.
Chris explaination the Go R.I.S.E. Up business model:
“Our business model is very unique as we have put together a solution from the ground up as most businesses in the industry tend to focus on one area which leaves gaps in the loop of sustainability. We have closed the “Loop” as we provide reusable bags, plastic bag collection bins, recycling education, as well as work with municipalities/businesses/schools to collect the bags and have them recycled into composite lumber in the United States.”
