Second Life® Solutions
Revolutionizing Waste Management for a Sustainable Future
At g2, we believe in pushing the boundaries of traditional recycling. While many companies focus on the basics—cardboard, plastic, and metal—our Second Life® Solutions take a deeper, more innovative approach to waste management. We tackle the often-overlooked problem of hazardous and complex materials that lie hidden in packaging and products, transforming them into valuable resources instead of letting them go to waste.
We don’t just recycle; we repurpose. Our solutions help materials find new purposes through cutting-edge processes such as composting, reclamation, regeneration, and even direct donations. This comprehensive, sustainable approach ensures that your waste doesn’t just disappear—it gets a second chance to contribute to the environment, the economy, and the community.
Innovative Solutions
We offer a wide range of innovative solutions to repurpose products and packaging. Here are some of the ways we turn waste into opportunity:

Compost Material
Coffee grounds separated from single serve coffee pods are repurposed and used in agricultural compost at local farms to produce rich, fertile soil.

Industrial Multipurpose Wash
Personal care products such as shampoos and soaps are reclaimed and transformed into industrial floor wash, which is also utilized in emergency disaster relief operations.

Industrial Deodorizer
Unsaleable perfumes, body sprays, and colognes can be reformulated into commercial deodorizers for use in dumpsters, portable toilets, and more.

Alkyd Paint
Nail polish that cannot be sold is reclaimed and converted into alkyd paint for use in commercial applications, extending its life and utility.

Donations
Household, laundry, auto, animal, and pest control cleaning products are donated and redistributed back to communities for reuse as-is, supporting local needs.

Regeneration
Materials like aluminum, glass, and paper are successfully reintroduced into the manufacturing process, helping to produce new products and keep materials in circulation.
