The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) is a nonprofit, international trade association based in Alexandria, Virginia, that represents manufacturers and suppliers of outdoor power equipment, engines, UTVs, and golf cars. It functions as the sector's advocacy voice, advancing safety standards, regulatory engagement, and educational efforts related to both gas- and battery-powered tools. The organization connects its members with research, resources, and insights intended to spur innovation and improve safety, while helping to shape the industry's trajectory across the United States and Canada. As a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit, OPEI operates within the non-profit sector with a regional focus on North American markets. In 2025, OPEI, in partnership with the Power Tool Institute and Call2Recycle, launched a High Energy Battery Recycling Program to support the safe collection and recycling of high-energy batteries used in outdoor equipment.
