REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE

June 4, 2019 by dawnavery1 Leave a Comment

Putting aside the obvious environmental challenges involved in reducing solvent consumption, energy usage and water conservation (all of which we address as separate ‘eco’ leaves), professional cleaners have innumerable environmental sustainability opportunities.

Here is a fairly comprehensive list of the items that the Green Cleaners Council considers in awarding cleaners an ‘eco-leaf’ for reducing, reusing and recycling:

Hanger recycling

Plastic bag recycling

Use of biodegradable plastic bags

Use of recycled paper for packaging

Reusable garment bags

Reusable tote bags

Adoption of paperless invoicing, statements and order tracking systems

Use of post consumer recycled paper in lunchrooms, bathrooms and other employees support areas.

Hybrid vehicles for pick up and delivery

Car pooling or public transportation for employees

Adoption of electronic notification for promotions, pick up and deliveries, inter- and intra-office communications, telecommuting, etc.

Use of eco-friendly printing sources for printed materials
