Brandwise loves the how easy it is in Fort Worth to be a recycling superstar. Over the last 7-8 years Brandwise has built a really strong recycling program to become a little more sustainable and make a difference in the world.
Brandwise probably recycles 4 times as much paper, plastic and metal products as we create in typical trash. Beyond offsetting our carbon footprint we really enjoy the feeling we get from making a difference. This is a program that any company can add to their everyday business practices.
Things to think about adding to your recycling program:
- Paper – mail, magazines, copy or printer paper, packaging, etc.
- Plastics – drink bottles, clamshell packaging, etc.
- Glass – bottles, broken glasses, etc.
- Electronics – computers, monitors, cell phones, printers and toner cartridges, hard-drives, routers, telephones, etc.
- Others – depending upon your industry, there are plenty of other things that can be recycled.
Remember before you toss something ask yourself if your local recycling program will recycle that item. It is great once you realize that a big percentage of your old trash is actually going to be reused instead of going into a dump somewhere.
Thanks, Dale, for going green! Wish more people thought twice about these things like you.
I’m sure you’ve also experienced the bumper benefits of doing so. When I did some recycling of old info, brochures, etc., I literally saved square footage of storage space and weight.
Keep up the great green policies!
Heidi,
Thanks for your input. Sustainable living and green marketing is very near and dear to my heart. I am always looking for new ways to become a more green company. I added this section of the site to be able to share these ideas with others and help spread the word.
I am happy and excited to know of other green businesses. I love that you offer green promotional items. For anyone interested in this stuff, check out Heidi’s blog at http://ecofriendlypromotionalproductguide.wordpress.com/.
