Waste management in companies involves more than just following the same steps that have been followed in the past. Some things have to change, with companies now having to take steps to reduce their impact on the environment by adopting environmentally friendly practices. These practices can lead to not only saving money, but also improving their brand reputation in the process, so there is a definite positive spin on businesses going green. 

Waste management needs a commitment from companies to actively reduce their impact on the environment and for this to happen, they need to follow the waste pyramid mantra by practicing Prevention,  the three R’s of Reuse, Recycle, Recovery, and Disposal. The aim is to reach Prevention so the higher the business operates on this hierarchy, the more positive the impact on our environment. 

Rubbish Removal Chester helps with waste management by only using the land fills for waste disposal as a last resort. We work with our clients to make the business of waste disposal easy and simple.

Reasons for Going Green

There are compelling reasons to go green and these are centered around the negative changes in our environment brought about by the careless disregard of the plight our world finds itself in. Every day there is more information on how our planet is changing. People are looking at ways they can change their behaviour and habits with regards to saving our earth. Companies need to be aware of this and change their outlook in terms of the environment too.

• More and more consumers are concerned about the impact businesses have on the environment. They are willing to put their money where their mouths are and support those businesses who are environmentally friendly. So by being aware of these issues you will improve your brand image and attract those new customers who actively seek out the type of companies who are going green. 
• Going green in a world focused on sustainability will mean that your business stays competitive. Protecting our environment is not just another trend but is here to stay, so going green will affect your bottom line as well as the environment. 

These Environmentally Friendly Practices are Easily Implemented 

Just a few minor changes around the workplace can make a difference, so it is every business’s responsibility to adopt measures to help improve our environment. It need not cost a lot of money but can actually save you money in the long run. And it will surely win over some new customers too.

• Get some recycling bins to encourage staff to recycle their waste. Make them different colours to make it easier for everyone. If you need any aid with the removal of your waste, please give Rubbish Removal Chester a call for a no obligation quote.
• By switching to CFL bulbs you will use up to 66% less energy than the standard incandescent bulbs. This is a saving for your bottom line, as well as saving energy. 
• If you turn off all electronic equipment and gadgets at the end of the day you will save a load of power as these use power even if they are not being used. Reduce your power bill further by replacing old appliances with energy efficient ones.
• Make sure the heating and cooling system in the office is set to temperatures that are not too high or too low to conserve energy. 
• Cut down on the use of paper by going paperless and save trees as well as costs of paper. Adopting the cloud instead of printing out everything will go a long way to helping the environment. 
• Make use of a water filtration system such as a water cooler to do away with using bottled water. This will cut down drastically on the number of plastic bottles that need recycling. This is an easy way of preventing the use of excess plastic and will work out cheaper than stocking the fridge up with plastic water bottles.  
• Reusing ink cartridges by refilling them instead of buying a whole new cartridge will save these from our landfills. These old cartridges are notoriously difficult to recycle. 
• Old electronic equipment that is considered obsolete presents a problem when it comes to disposing of these devices. Businesses need the latest technology and equipment to stay competitive so the question of what to do with the old ones is a very real problem. There is not only the environmental problem of what to do with this obsolete equipment, but there is also the problem of your business’s confidential information that is stored in these devices.
  E-waste is the fastest growing stream of municipal waste and because of their components that pose a threat to our environment when they begin breaking down, there are guidelines in place on how to recycle these old electronics and these need to be followed. 

Consumers are very aware when it comes to environmental issues, and they want to support brands who they perceive feel the same way as they do about sustainability. As a business owner it is important to get your employees to buy into your efforts as well as communicating these efforts to your clients. Use your online social media platforms to communicate your efforts and the changes you have implemented as these can help you gain customers.
