The idea for Resource Revival sprung from my imagination in 1991 when I got a flat tire while biking to my recycling job. That inner tube became a cradle for my stereo speakers and after three years of tinkering with other ideas Resource Revival was born in 1994.
Now we collect tons of discarded bicycle parts every year from bike shops all over the United States. We clean them using mild detergents, sort them into more categories than you can possibly imagine, and craft them into the cool products you see on our website.
Our mission is to create innovative products from recycled materials, to provide meaningful, living wage jobs, and to have fun. We envision a sustainable future where commerce flourishes in a world powered by renewable energy, and where consumers are conscious of the origin of the food they eat, the energy they consume, and the products they buy.
Buying recycled products "closes the loop" and helps keep used parts out of landfills. It also keeps products made from new materials from being made in the first place. Buying nothing conserves even more resources. If you want to support us but don't need more stuff, please consider making a donation.
Thanks for recycling!

Resource Revival is located on an old farmstead in rural Oregon. This is our main design and production workshop, an existing outbuilding that we upgraded with insulation, energy efficient lighting, and reclaimed lumber and sheet metal. In addition to the wild flowers, there is a lot of wildlife, including deer, coyotes, wild turkeys and this bobcat that walked right by my house.
