Commercial Recycling - Green Businesses are Taking Over
A visit to the market may be gloomier than usual these days with the hike in food cost. However, simply going back to the basics and using a gardening green thumb provides an abundance of nutritious food on the dinner table. A bountiful garden not only saves on food cost, it is also a therapeutic opportunity to provide peace of mind knowing where your food is coming from and how it is grown.
In a new era where being environmentally conscious is a must, businesses of all shapes and sizes are hustling to become “Green Businesses”. With an impressive amount of businesses (70%) currently incorporating some form of recycling effort within their business agenda, the need to convert your organization into a green business is essential. Green Businesses are not only improving the environment, they are also seeing unexpected benefits arise from their actions.
What is a Green Business?
Green businesses strive to enhance the quality of life for their employees, community members, and clients through environmentally friendly practices. These businesses are able to achieve this through regulations, policies, and programs set in their agendas to create a healthier and more sustainable future. Through their efforts they have been able to create positive changes not only within their own organizations, but also their surrounding communities.
The hiring of professional recycling companies to assist in handling the commercial recycling duties is the most common and cost-effective tactic that green businesses are using to increase their environmentally friendly agendas. Since businesses run through an exceptional amount of recyclable waste, commercial recycling companies, like Millennium Waste Incorporated are needed to control the high volume of materials being recycled. Recycling professionals will guide you on your path to becoming environmentally friendly by evaluating your needs, and creating a recycling plan based on those needs.
Millennium Waste offers commercial cardboard recycling services for businesses. MWI provides containers dedicated for cardboard which businesses are able to load with recyclable cardboard that is then picked up on a scheduled date. The cardboard is then transferred to a designated recycler where it will be re-purposed back into useable material. By actively working towards becoming a green business, a company will see reduced waste costs as well as an enriched public image.
Attracting the Future
A recent study has found that 92% of young professionals are more inclined to work with an environmentally green business over a non-practicing business. As you already know the need to attract and retain a qualified workforce is one of the most important aspects behind creating a successful business. Making the shift to an environmentally sound business will also raise moral among employees that have strong beliefs in recycling practices. Implementing a business wide recycling agenda within your business may lead to an increase of personal recycling practices from your employees at home, in turn creating a cleaner and more sustainable community.
Attracting investors can be another challenging and stressful task for a growing business. Current trends show that investors look for businesses that have solid relations within their community. Having a positive image within your community allows expansion and new development projects to go over smoothly, which in turn encourages investors to invest in your business. Community involvement can come in many shapes and sizes from clean up initiatives to community event sponsorships.
Millennium Waste will work with your business to form a customized commercial recycling program that fits your commercial recycling needs. Skilled professionals will work with you and your business to create a regular and appropriate recycling plan that could lower waste cost, and assist in creating a favorable green business image with your clients, employees and community members.
