Five Ways To Make Your Business More Eco-Friendly

 In The Buzz
A huge trend in the marketplace right now is finding ways to make your business more environmentally friendly. By working to save the environment, your organization can help our planet thrive while gaining a new customer base in the process. Thankfully, “Going Green” doesn’t always have to mean spending a lot of your precious time making major changes to your business. There are plenty of little, effective changes that a business can make in order to become more eco-friendly. Here are just five things that will make your headquarters, policies and more a little greener: 1. Switch Your Lighting – Is your company still using incandescent bulbs for light fixtures? Now’s the time to make a switch. By installing fluorescent lighting, you could reduce the amount of electricity you’re using in your facility. Plus, fluorescent bulbs last up to seven times longer than the incandescent lighting choices. After making the switch, your company could do more than help save  the environment – it could also save on its electric and utilities bill. 2. Do A Power Sweep – At the end of the day, the last thing you probably want to do is a final sweep of your building. However, if you’re trying to conserve electricity, checking all the electronics and tools during a final sweep of the building will help make your facilities more eco-friendly. Before you leave for the day, go back over your workspace to make sure your computer is turned off and all your equipment is powered down for the day. It may take an extra few minutes to power up in the morning, but the planet and your electricity bill with thank you. 3. Add Recycling Bins – One of the best ways to help the environment is to reduce, reuse, and recycle old materials. So, instead of tossing empty water bottles or old soda cans after a lunch break, proactively place recycling bins around the area. Encouraging your employees to recycle can reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills and will conserve other natural resources used to make new plastics and other products. 4. Encourage Carpooling – Creating a carpooling program at your office can also help protect the environment. With fewer cars on the road, lower amounts of greenhouse gasses are released into the atmosphere. For those who carpool, management could offer perks such as preferred parking or extra PTO (paid time off). 5. Use Eco-Friendly Products – Business owners should also be double checking company products to make sure the product choices are up to environmentally friendly standards. For example, SpillFix natural absorbent products are environmentally safe to use when cleaning up all kinds of fuel spills. This product can also be used many times before throwing away or being burned for additional fuel. Investing in better tools just as SpillFix will go a long way in “greenifying” your business. Overall, changing some of your business’ policies and product  to environmentally friendly alternatives can aid in a lot of your organization’s goals. Remember, it’s not just about working to save the planet; becoming eco-friendly can inspire new customers to visit your business and save you money in the long run.

  • “Bar-B-Que sauce is easy enough to clean up when it’s on your fingers and lips, but it’s an entirely different story when a five-gallon jug of it ruptures and flows onto a warehouse floor. SpillFix was applied to the entire disaster area – from the pallet to the cardboard, the shrink wrap and the growing puddle on the floor. In three and a half minutes, the entire mess was cleaned, and the warehouse was restored to a safe workplace again — using just one product.”
