Did you know?

Monday, May 18th, 2009

Did you know that new markets for recycled materials are opening up everywhere? It’s true. The plastic cup or bottle you’re drinking out of could in fact be made out of—you’re not going to believe this—corn! Or the napkins you used at the restaurant the other day, there’s a good chance that those were recycled too. Even many of the computers we use every day are now constructed of recycled materials. Either way, the list goes on and on.
Recycling is huge. No matter how slippery the economy gets, the recycling industry will always be a significant industry that pulls in immense amounts of money every year. However, even though the waste materials will always be there to take advantage of, there’s one step that cannot be done on its own—the ball hast o get rolling on recycling. It’s not enough to simply realize that recycling is “good” and waste and excess are “bad”. Businesses have to act on their waste, and EWS affiliates know exactly how to help.

At Home Business Opportunities
Businesses might say, “but I really don’t have the time to devote to recycling, it’s just not feasible,” but now it is. EWS affiliates enable businesses to take part in the most pivotal step in the recycling process—they allow them to change their habits and contribute—while also allowing businesses to potentially save thousands on the side.
In doing so, businesses that turn to EWS to help them recycle better help heal the economy by contributing to another industry, they help the environment, and they let their pockets get a little bit bigger. So why wait?

History says recycling is the way to go

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Recycling comes across today as a relatively new phenomenon. All over the country it’s become the thing to do. Using the same bag to carry groceries, old bottles to carry new water, and so much more has fallen under the general definition of what it is to recycle, and the motivation to do it is growing faster than anyone could ever imagine. But there’s one thing to remember: time doesn’t lie. Recycling is not in any way a new concept. Sure, the billion dollar facilities are definitely new—but they’re simply expanding on a general model passed down throughout history, since the very beginnings of civilization.

For example, archaeologists in a number of underwater sites across the world have found artifacts ranging in age from the fourth century BC to the third century AD, and they found them all in the same place. Their discovery simply goes to show that ancient civilizations—especially some of the most successful ones—saw the value in reusing materials for recycling. Some historians and archeologists have even theorized that civilizations like the Romans actually had centers for recycling.

At Home Business Opportunities
Another instance where recycling became huge was during World War I and World War II. Both America and Europe were faced with astronomical shortages of materials due to the war effort. While today the fight is against pollution and global warming, the fact that recycling can have an impact has never changed.

Fast forward to the present day and we’re generally doing the same things for the same reasons. While technology has improved to recycle materials more efficiently, we’re still relying on it as a sure-fire way to save money. If recycling can be the go-to resource saving solution for civilizations and armies alike, businesses simply can’t go wrong siding with history. By embracing recycling, businesses can both save money and make an impact, and EWS can ensure that they make the most of it.

The Life of Aluminum

Wednesday, April 8th, 2009

Typically, the life cycle of the aluminum can begins in its purest form—bauxite. It’s then extracted, refined, smelted, and cast into aluminum ingots. In layman’s terms it’s enough to simply say “a lot of digging , melting, and pressing happens.” But no matter how you say it, the fact remains that from digging and mining the bauxite to the machinery used to actually turn it into something usable aluminum, the creation of aluminum we use every day involves using a lot of energy. So it becomes clear that from its basic essence to its existence as a can, the aluminum can is the result of a great deal of energy spent. So why waste it?

At Home Business Opportunities

Most consumers never truly consider the life cycle of the aluminum can. In the same way, many businesses don’t fully appreciate the life cycle of their aluminum products. By recycling aluminum, businesses help put a serious dent in the amount of mining, smelting, and casting that needs to be done. By cutting out those three steps involved in the creation of new aluminum products businesses would help accomplish two goals.

First, re-melting aluminum instead of mining entirely new virgin materials saves an immense amount of energy, about 95 percent of what would be used to create new aluminum. In fact, some estimates say the energy used to create one aluminum can is capable of powering a TV for four hours. Others say it’s roughly the energy equivalent of a half gallon of gasoline. Using recycled aluminum also reduces the need for new raw materials by 90 percent.

While businesses contribute to their community and economy by recycling, they also accomplish another attractive goal—they save money that they never knew they could. When it comes down to it, the advantages of recycled aluminum are extremely clear, and EWS affiliates will help businesses take advantage of them.

We are consumers

Monday, March 9th, 2009

We don’t always think about how much we consume. No. We’re not talking about the breakfast sandwich you ate, or the second serving you took at dinner. We actually consume much much more than we tend to realize. The plastic cups we all throw away, the yogurt containers we drop into the garbage every morning, can after can of soda we toss, and the countless other things we cast aside without a thought all regrettably become our contribution to the environment.

It nearly always takes less energy to make products from recycled materials than it does to make it from new ones. For example, over 95 percent less energy is used when Aluminum cans are made from recycled materials. Through recycling, the materials that we would normally throw away actually allow us to make a considerable difference. You might not see it right away, but it’s definitely there.

At Home Business Opportunities

When it comes to steel, it takes about 33 percent less energy to recycle it than to make new steel from iron ore. The cost efficiency and reliability of recycled steel has become such an effective cost cutting and greening initiative that two-thirds of new steel is not new at all, it’s the end-result of scrupulous businesses recycling their scrap.

In any case, the relationship between recycling and savings is painfully clear. Why continue making new materials when recycled ones are just as reliable for a much cheaper cost? But that’s not even the best part. As more and more people see the value in recycled materials, more recycled materials will be used—ensuring the EWS Affiliates and their clients always have an outlet for efficient and effective waste management and recycling.

The best way to compete…

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Competition surrounds us. When you turn on the television you see competition. You see it on the sports channel, in the news, and virtually everywhere else. In fact, we see so much competition that we often forget that its even there. Think about what children are encouraged to do in school or what we tune into every night when we watch game shows on TV. More and more we’re encouraged to be better and more efficient so that we can be more competitive and more successful.

At Home Business Opportunities

The more intense the competition, the better you need to be in order to compete—that much is obvious. High school athletes may not micromanage every single aspect of their lives to increase performance, but Olympians do. In order to be competitive, more and more attention needs to be paid to the smallest details. For athletes, this could be seen in their diet or their meticulously planned workouts. They pay attention to every detail in order to perform as efficiently as humanly possible.

When it comes down to businesses, the same is true. In order to be more competitive, businesses also have to pay attention to the smallest details. Like an athlete working to increase performance, businesses at their best strive for efficiency in every aspect of operation. In doing so, business must push for excellence and efficiency in much more than the most obvious areas of their business. Often, business owners are so preoccupied with concerns such as production and sales that they forget about other areas of their business that could be more efficient.

Waste is one of these key areas. Business owners everywhere don’t always realize the impact that inefficient waste management can have on finances. It’s like a hole in their pocket left gaping for years, allowing money to trickle out consistently. Sure, it’s not a loss that would be seen immediately, but over time it has the capability of making a significant impact. EWS affiliates help businesses close that hole, increase efficiency, and keep all the money that’s theirs.

Like any other competition it takes performance, skill, and efficiency to come out on top. For businesses that struggle not only within their industry, but also with the economy, EWS has the formula for savings and success.

Imagine a world…

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Imagine a world where there is no such thing as recycling. Most businesses think nothing of frequently hauling their waste to a landfill, where it’s destined to sit. Without the impact of recycling the landfill is virtually overflowing with business waste that will do nothing but sit there in piles. Save for the occasional thrifty homeowner or businessperson, there are no programs to make use of the waste so that is what it stays—waste. Other businesses make the choice to burn their waste, sending fumes into the air that slowly eat away at the atmosphere and even more just dump it wherever they can.

At Home Business Opportunities

Can you imagine what the world would be like if this was the approach to waste management we use today? Can you picture the pollution or imagine the cost? Sure, it may not be expensive to dump waste wherever you please, but the long term costs involved would be even greater than the environmental threats that we’re facing today. A world without recycling would mean tremendous costs, an environment that’s even more crippled than what we’re already faced with, and waste across the board in the form of trash and in the money that businesses would burn up, haul away, and cast aside.

Thankfully, we live in a world with recycling. As a society we’ve seen the negative effects of a world that takes waste for granted. Even still, businesses all over throw away money by looking at their waste as worthless. In reality, it can not only be valuable but it can make a significant impact as well. EWS affiliates see this and profit from it by convincing business owners that the dumpster is not always the end of the line. For affiliates, a win-win situation is not a hard bargain to sell. Not only are businesses eager to save money, but the concept of helping the environment through recycling is extremely attractive as well.

We live in a world with recycling, so why not take full advantage of it?

Money down the drain or a cheaper, greener perspective?

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

Whenever you go to the grocery store, it’s generally not too hard to find what you’re looking for. Think about Soda (or whatever you want to call it!) and you may picture a long aisle, lined with shining plastic bottles. It wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for anyone to think nothing of hundreds and hundreds of plastic bottles, but from a different perspective they are anything but insignificant. After years and years of buying and throwing out, we’ve come to recognize things like plastic bottles and containers as regular, every-day objects that don’t really mean anything; at EWS we’re changing that.

At Home Business Opportunities

In 2006, there were roughly 2.7 million tons of type 1 plastic (the type of plastic used to make soda bottles) on shelves. Of that 2.7 million tons, roughly four-fifths of them went to landfills. To put that into perspective, a large dump truck can carry approximately 20 tons—that’s about 108,000 dump trucks full of plastic bottles. If a large dump truck is somewhere around 40 feet long, that’s miles of dump trucks—all full to the brim with plastic bottles.

Even though we may not always realize it—we consume a lot, and it’s mind boggling to wonder how much we contribute to the tons of waste that get carted away to landfills every week. However, there’s no need to feel guilty or upset. We can’t help the fact that we create waste. On the other hand, by using a different perspective to consider the many things we consume and throw away, it becomes clear that more can be done to cut down on waste and reduce our impact. By looking at waste as much more than insignificant, EWS helps businesses increase recycling and savings while significantly decreasing waste.

Continuing with the example of plastic, consider the sheer amount of it we find in our lives every day. Ask anyone to think of something made of plastic and it wouldn’t be surprising to be answered with silence and a blank stare, not because it’s a hard question but because just about everything is partly or entirely made of plastic. With that in mind, think about how much useful material is wasted every time a dump truck carries a load of waste, plastic bottles included, to the landfill. According to the Container Recycling Institute (a non-profit organization), in 2005 nearly half a billion dollars worth of plastic bottles went to landfills. This stands as just another example illustrating the value that is so often ignored in what we may typically see as “trash”.

By helping businesses streamline recycling, EWS affiliates and their clients ensure they don’t miss out on the value that can be created through solid waste. For EWS affiliates and their clients, not taking advantage of recycling is like allowing a business’s hard earned money to be abandoned at the dump.
