Speakers:

Ted Reiff

Ted Reiff is the founder and president of The ReUse People of America, Inc. (TRP), an environmental organization that salvages used building materials and markets them in California and Mexico. TRP is a leader in the emerging field of deconstruction, which, unlike traditional demolition, involves the careful dismantling of buildings in order to preserve their reusable components.

In the 25 plus years since its founding, TRP has deconstructed over 3,000 residential, commercial and industrial buildings ranging from single-family residences to military housing complexes and large-scale movie sets. TRP has diverted over 250,000 tons of materials from landfills throughout the state of California and another 150,000 from its activities in eleven other states: Washington, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Missouri, Illinois, Connecticut, Arizona and North Carolina.

TRP is headquartered in the San Francisco Bay area, with additional offices serving Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, and the states of Washington, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Connecticut and North Carolina. In addition, the company recently expanded to Vancouver, British Columbia.

TRP works collaboratively with contractors, architects and designers, Habitat for Humanity, specialty wood mills, consignment stores and resellers of used building materials. TRP is a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and Building Materials Reuse Association.

Early in his business career, Mr. Reiff was a retail systems consultant for an international consulting company specializing in distribution systems. Prior to founding TRP he was managing partner for an investment banking firm that provided a variety of financial services to young technology companies.

He is a forklift and OSHA construction outreach trainer and holds a life-time teaching credential from the California Community College System. He is personally responsible for the training of over 50 contractors and 500 deconstruction workers.
