Film Biz Recycling (FBR) is a not for profit organization dedicated to helping the entertainment industry address the triple bottom line: profit, people and planet. We encourage every production to think about the wrap during prep, consider the impact of on and off-screen activities and donate every unwanted, useful and re-useable item to Film Biz Recycling or another re-use organization.
FBR also aims to research and introduce new ideas and methods for filmmaking by doing the research, making the contacts and disseminating the information to the community. Moreover, we aim to get everyone involved in a project to think and to act in a way that teaches the next generation and establishes new industry standards.
We are committed to prove that making future-friendly changes will not cost more, but in fact are less expensive than traditional methods.
We are committed to see every re-seable building material, prop and set dressing either make its way to charity or help fund the efforts of Film Biz Recycling.
We are committed to never have another dumpster full of perfectly good materials tossed to create green house gasses in a landfill.
Film Biz Recycling also seeks to connect the industry with other industries, communities and planet via collaboration, lateral thinking and volunteerism. Our materials can change lives. Our unique skills can inspire hope and restore faith. Our generosity can change the world. Each project is an opportunity to tell a great story and the by-products can make the world a better place.
