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.

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.
