On Global Recycling Day, RPM celebrates Rust-Oleum Corporation’s efforts to transform discontinued materials into new opportunities in a partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Washington and Dodge Counties. Rust-Oleum is proud to give back by with this initiative led by Product Operations Manager David Divoky. "The standard practice was to send unsellable materials to a paint recycler where we got pennies on a dollar for it. And sometimes, nothing at all," David explains. "But every time I saw good materials go to waste it bothered me. I've always been one to ask why not do it differently?” With a history of community service stemming from his time as an Eagle Scout, David was inspired to find a better way. That’s when he reached out to Habitat for Humanity through a contact in the Kenosha distribution center. Not only could these materials be used to construct new homes, he discovered they could also be sold in Habitat's ReStores, which are home improvement resale shops. Since launching this initiative in early 2024, Rust-Oleum has donated over $180,000 in high-quality goods, including primers, paints, cleaning supplies and roofing fabrics. These donations have helped support home construction and improvement projects through Habitat’s ReStores across Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, Maryland and California. "Knowing that our materials are being used to build actual homes is deeply fulfilling," says David. “We’re contributing to a greater cause, and the response has been overwhelming.” Thank you David and Rust-Oleum for Building a Better World! #RPMJourney

RPM is proud to support PolicyBridge, a nonpartisan African American led public policy “think and action tank," based in Cleveland, Ohio. PolicyBridge was conceived to address issues negatively affecting life in Cleveland’s distressed neighborhoods, especially the African American community. One of its aims is to narrow and eventually eliminate racial and ethnic disparities in economic well-being in Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. Randell McShepard, RPM’s Vice President of Public Affairs and Chief Talent Officer, and PolicyBridge’s Co-Founder and Board Chairman, shared that "PolicyBridge and RPM have demonstrated long-term commitment to the economic wellbeing of Cleveland residents through support of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District and partnerships with local universities and workforce development programs."

We are excited to share that our Tremco Rising Stars Program is now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit! This significant milestone will enable the program to expand its reach, enhance its offerings, and secure additional funding to further its mission of empowering underrepresented youth with career opportunities within the ever-growing construction industry. So, what’s next for Rising Stars? • We’re anticipating the launch of two additional locations for our Rising Stars Program later this year, including one in Brockton, Massachusetts. • The program will continue to build on successful initiatives like Achieve Green, a pre-apprenticeship partnership in Boston that provides certification and career readiness training for participants interested in sustainable construction. • A new board of directors, including both internal leaders and external industry experts, will ensure the program remains aligned with its core mission. David Hutchinson, who now serves as executive director, will continue to champion the program’s vision of inspiring the next generation of construction professionals. “Tremco CPG has proudly supported Rising Stars from the beginning, and this transition to nonprofit status only reinforces our commitment to its long-term success,” says Krista Gnatt, MBA, LEED AP, president of Tremco Roofing and Building Maintenance. The additional funding and resources from nonprofit status will drive staff growth and enhance programming, ensuring Rising Stars remains a permanent fixture in the construction industry and continues to deliver meaningful pathways to success for young people nationwide.
