RecycleForce is a 501(c)3 organization dedicated to reducing crime through environmental and workforce initiatives. The company offers innovative recycling services while providing life-changing workforce training to formerly incarcerated individuals.
The organization deconstructs electronic waste and other recyclables provided by residents and corporate partners, recycles the materials, and disposes of the waste safely and cleanly. The revenue generated from selling the scrap metals and reusable materials is directed towards funding job training programs and employment opportunities for formerly incarcerated men and women, supporting their re-entry into society.
RecycleForce has successfully integrated social impact with environmental sustainability. The revenue from its recycling business is channeled towards helping ex-offenders rebuild their lives by providing gainful employment and comprehensive social services.
The company's transitional jobs model provides employment for up to six months, alongside comprehensive services designed to enhance participants' job skills, character development, and personal counseling – ultimately increasing the chances of sustained future employment and reducing the instance of re-offending.
RecycleForce works closely with industry partners and employers committed to hiring ex-offenders, facilitating the transition from temporary work to full-time, gainful employment, thus creating a significant socio-economic impact.
Headquartered in the United States, RecycleForce's model aligns social, environmental, and economic objectives, making it a compelling investment opportunity for venture capitalists seeking meaningful social impact and financial returns.
