Our Story
A community company turning waste into a greener future
Founded by Joe Patton and rooted in the Philadelphia tri-state, PSCGRecycle has been recovering value from waste since 2013.
Founder-led
Built by an engineer, driven by a mission
Joe Patton graduated from Penn State with a degree in mechanical engineering and has been working in recycling since 2013. What began as a way to collect and recycle waste cooking oil has grown into a vision for a full circular economy: oil, plastics, and tires refined into biodiesel and clean products.
Joe is mission-driven and community-based. Every year the company runs a Thanksgiving give-back, and it's built on a belief that when the community is behind you, everyone rises together. That's the heart of PSCGRecycle: build the business, and build up the community that helps get it there.
Mission-driven
We care about the company, the people who build it, and the planet we all share.
Community-rooted
We hire and develop local young people and give back through an annual Thanksgiving drive.
Engineered & honest
Founder-led by a mechanical engineer, a transparent, real process, not empty claims.
In the press
Recognized for helping the environment, and the community
Our work collecting grease for free, recovering value from waste, and creating local jobs has been featured in the local press over the years, including the Southwest Globe Times and the Presbytery of Philadelphia.
The vision
A global circular economy for waste
As we grow, the same platform will connect restaurants, drivers, processing facilities, and buyers across the country, and eventually the world, keeping value in the loop and waste out of the landfill.
