It’s not too late to discard practices within your facility that are not beneficial to the planet. ABCO Cleaning Products, a leading provider of sustainable cleaning tools, shares several sustainable recommendations to help minimize carbon emissions and increase transparency at your facility.
“A new year means a fresh start. This is a great opportunity to embrace new sustainable practices that can benefit your facility and the environment,” saiys Carlos Albir, Jr., Director of Operations, ABCO Cleaning Products. “Together, we can work toward a more sustainable future for generations to come.”
The following should be considered:
1. Switch to third-party certified cleaning tools. Consider using cleaning tools certified by a reputable third-party organization, such as Green Seal. This helps minimize the amount of toxic chemicals released into your facility, improving IAQ.
2. Prioritize waste reduction and recycling. Implement new waste reduction strategies such as recycling and composting programs. These initiatives can decrease your facility’s waste and carbon emissions, helping to minimize your environmental footprint.
3. Educate your facility occupants. 70 percent of employees are drawn to companies with sustainability programs. Create communication materials, such as signs, detailing your facility’s sustainability initiatives to help increase transparency.
4. Conduct a sustainability audit. This allows you to understand how your facility’s practices can impact the environment. Partnering with trusted organizations, such as Green2Sustainable, can assist in identifying key areas to help reduce your facility’s environmental footprint.
