10 Ways Your Business Can Celebrate Earth Day

04/09/2019 by DeniseB Leave a Comment

Go Green this Earth Day Delaware!

Most Americans realize that our environment needs protecting, now more than ever. Earth Day is a perfect opportunity to raise environmental awareness and support initiatives for reducing, reusing and recycling the world’s limited assets. Cities around the world have extended Earth Day celebrations to last a week or more to increase community awareness of green initiatives.

Businesses that make an effort towards environmental stewardship often enjoy a positive brand image. Companies such a Patagonia whose mission statement is ‘We’re in business to save our home planet’ have used their platform to raise advocacy for environmental issues.

Earth Day Network works year round to solve climate change, to end plastic pollution, to protect endangered species, and to broaden, educate, and activate the environmental movement across the globe.

Earth Day will be celebrated on Monday, April 22, 2019 by millions of people around the world. This will mark the 49th year for this celebration and this year’s theme is ‘Save Species’. Since the conception of Earth Day in 1970, there’s been a loss of over 40% of the world’s wild animal population. Climate change threatens 75% of the world’s coral reefs, while the bee and other pollinating insects continue to be decimated by use of insecticides.

Those of us at Waste Masters Solutions thought it might be helpful to share a few ideas with our commercial customers on how to celebrate Earth Day and protect our environment for future generations to come.

10 Ways Your Business Can Celebrate Earth Day:

1) Teleconference instead of traveling. If you fly five times per year, those trips are likely to account for 75% of your personal carbon footprint

2) Reduce and recycle paper in the office, plus purchase 100% post-consumer recycled paper

3) Encourage employees to pack their lunch in a reusable bag

4) Conserve water outdoors by only watering landscaping in the early morning or late at night. Use drought-resistant plants in dry areas.

5) Form a “green team” at your office to find cost-effective ways to conserve resources and promote sustainability.

6) Advise employees to turn off and unplug electronics and lights when not in use. This includes turning off your computer before leaving for the night.

7) Coordinate and/or encourage employees to carpool to work

8)  Create a ‘Ride Your Bike’ to work club that encourages employees to reduce carbon emissions

9) Make incentive programs that educate employees about using public transportation or driving an electric or hybrid car.

Your carbon footprint is reduced by one pound for every mile you do not drive.

10) Replace inefficient incandescent light bulbs with efficient CFLs or LEDs – Reduce your carbon footprint by 450 pounds a year

A Waste Audit Could Make Your Business More SustainableSustainability and environmental stewardship are big buzzwords to the commercial waste industry, but what exactly do they mean?

In today’s environment, waste management solutions are not only a money saver, they are also a public relations issue. Many corporations realize that when done well, economic stewardship and sustainable practices can boost a brand’s reputation.

Corporations are making big efforts to conduct their business in a greener way of life that is eco-friendly. WasteMasters Solutions of Delaware partners with commercial facilities and institutions to implement innovative solutions to environmental challenges.

Conducting a waste assessment of your current waste management system will help to identify which of your waste solutions are under-performing and which ones are working as planned or excelling expectations. At WasteMasters Solutions, we can help commercial businesses and institutions to better implement waste management solutions that will lower costs, offer greener solutions and safer processes.

Waste Masters Teams Up With Philadelphia Eagles To Expand Go Green Efforts

We help all types of industries to conduct a full waste audit of everyday processes  in order to create a comprehensive assessment of their facilities. Our main focus will be on the areas of your building that generates the larger amounts of waste, such as cafeterias, mail aor copy rooms, shipping and receiving, assembly lines and offices. We also assess the outside of the building and ground maintenance operations. Finally, we travel to all areas of the facility to ensure that nothing is falling through the cracks.

We’ll observe all activities and equipment closely to gain a better understanding of how waste is generated at your facility. Make note of all waste reduction efforts already in place and areas that fall short of recycling/reusing goals.

7 Eco-Friendly Office Tips Just in Time For Earth Day

04/17/2018 by DeniseB 2 Comments

10 Green Holiday Tips for the Home & Office:

Going Green is not only good for business; it is good for your wallet.  Save your business money while helping to lessen your carbon footprints by implementing these policies for your office.

7 Eco-Friendly Ways to Save Money and the Environment:

1) Create an ‘Energy Saving’ Strategy: Optimize your energy usage by powering up only the electronic equipment and lighting in spaces that are in use.  Avoid ‘phantom load’ which is a senseless drain by equipping employees with a ‘Smart’ power strip.

2) Go Paperless: Skip paper when possible and have a recycle paper protocol throughout the office. Use PCW (Post-Consumer Waste) Paper Products; these paper and packaging products use 45% less energy to produce and create half the waste than that of the traditional paper-making process.

3) Use Energy Efficient Lighting: Yes, compact-fluorescent (CFL) or LED lights are more expensive than standard incandescent bulbs, but they use much less energy and last a lot longer. It could possible save you up to $200 per bulb over time.

4) Recycling Policy: Create a recycling area within easy access with clearly labeled bins to recycle cardboard, plastics, glass, CDs, batteries, fluorescent tubes, IT equipment, etc…

5) Install Water Efficient Products: Water conservation is another great way to go green. Placing water efficient products in bathrooms will reduce water use.

6) Re-usable Coffee Cup: Avoid senseless waste at the coffee station by asking employees to bring in their favorite coffee mug. Cut out the coffee stirrers – billions are thrown out each year immediately after use. Put sugar and cream in first and then pour in the coffee. You should have a perfect mixture!

7) Recycle Batteries and Electronics: Batteries release toxic wastes or metals that leach into ground water and into the air when not properly disposed. Click Here to find a battery and cellphone recycling center near you and avoid dumping them in landfills, at all costs.
