Our Story
Where It All Started
My name is Trevor Kehler, and I am the founder of U.S.E.D.
U.S.E.D. grew from a need in me to be a part of something; a community, a project, and a lifestyle that I felt good about from the ground up. I wanted to believe in what I was doing from conception, through production, to the end product.
I looked at the mountains of our things, the garbage and waste in every aspect of our lives. The waste of time, life, and our resources. I came to a place in my life where I was fed up and outraged by the way we live and the devastating impact this has on our planet.
I felt the need to create something positive from our waste to show people the possibilities that exist in our society’s discards, and to use my products as a vehicle to convey this important message.
Sustainable. Recycled.
Made by Hand.
We pick up the garbage; use it to create products that are designed to function, and built to last. We offer repairs on our products and any other items, to extend their life even longer.
From seat belts, air bags, coffee bags, shade sail cut offs and more, our goal is to divert as much industrial waste from the land fill as we can. We grow each day with new materials, new partnerships, and new ideas for how we can help save our landfills.
Every product we buy as consumers has a byproduct. We want our efforts and our creations to inspire thoughtfulness.
We have power in our purchases.
“Where does it come from?”
“Where does it go when you’re done with it?”
The truth is in your trash.
