Everyone is getting the green bug

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

As so many people do today, often the first place to look for news is the internet. You go to your favorite site, you type in your search terms, and the most popular results magically appear before your eyes. One of the greatest features about the internet is the ease and simplicity of finding all the information you could ever want about a specific topic. Take for instance recycling.

We searched Google News for headlines about “Recycling” and were delighted (but not surprised), when the first 10 headlines were all about its benefits. Out of 10 links on one page, all 10 of those links were about the worth and importance of recycling, with none of them mentioning any slow-down.

In San Jose, there was a headline reading, “Peninsula Cities Consider New Recycling Facility Contract,” a Maryland paper reported on counties in Maryland that are actively boosting their recycling efforts, and in Chicago a popular juice maker began an initiative to recycle more of their juice cartons. It becomes clear very quickly that businesses and communities across the country are continuing to see the value in recycling.

Or consider the headline about the museum in Connecticut dedicated to trash and recycling. According to the news it boasts a sculpture of a dinosaur made entirely out of trash, weighing 2,000 pounds to represent the amount of garbage the average person in Connecticut throws away every year.

It doesn’t take long to realize that just about everyone everywhere is getting the green bug and becoming more interested in recycling. We so often turn to the news to inform our opinions about the world, but many times we don’t think to look at what specifically the news is covering. By simply seeing the amount of news about recycling, it becomes obvious that it’s not something we can ignore. It’s right here, it’s right now, it has impact, it has value, and it’s urgent.

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.

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.

Networking with Trash

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

So what’s all the fuss about social networking? What’s it even mean? A bunch of people get online, become friends, and……that’s it? For a lot of people the rapid changes in technology and communication are a bit overwhelming. To be honest, that area isn’t quite our specialty, but we can use it as an example.

Now, our version of networking isn’t quite like the one you’d find on facebook or myspace. There aren’t pictures of friendly faces, funny quotes, and interesting personal anecdotes. Instead, it’s a lot simpler. There’s a database and that’s it. You might be wondering, “What kind of networking is that?” Well for us, it’s the best kind. It’s profitable and it’s efficient, but when it comes down to it—the greatest part is that it’s one big list of trash.

At Home Business Opportunities

“You’re kidding, right?” Some might say. But no, our network for materials exchange, while not exactly a ‘social’ network, is one of a kind. Even still, it can be compared to social networks in the way that it can effectively connect businesses with similar needs that might never have had the chance or opportunity to develop a professional relationship in the first place.

For example, there are undoubtedly hundreds of fans that have come together online through a connection to some sort of musician, artist, or product. However, on our end businesses come together for their mutual interests in plastic, metal, scrap wood, and more.

If businesses need it, we know where to find it. It’s just another one of the benefits that businesses get when they team up with EWS affiliates. So if networking with friends is so easy, why not do it through EWS with trash? Trust us. Networking is even better when you can make money doing it!

New Beginnings for Everything

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Everyone knows the refreshing feeling of a new beginning. No matter what kind of beginning it is, whether it’s in life, a career, or anything else, new beginnings are often the very moments we need to keep moving with confidence in the direction we want to go in.

At Home Business Opportunities

At EWS we are all about new beginnings, both for our affiliates and for the actual materials they work with and scrutinize every day. Affiliates working as independent waste consultants have the chance to reinvent their lives by working in an industry with tremendous earning potential.

Similarly, affiliates find new beginnings for the businesses they work with. When you look at a dumpster full of business waste it might not be your first instinct to describe the contents as new or valuable. But EWS proves every day that you can. When an EWS affiliate considers 100 individual pieces of business waste, they see the possibility for 100 individual new beginnings. Every single piece of waste has the potential to be an opportunity to save money and to make a difference. At the same time, those beginnings are not only profitable, but they’re green as well and they leave businesses better off and more prepared to continue moving forward.

Whenever we start over and embark on something new, we take a moment to consider things a bit longer than we normally would. It’s probably true that new beginnings aren’t generally a concept used to describe better waste management, but at EWS we like to think that it’s more than that. Throughout the entire process it may appear that an EWS affiliate simply does his or her job delivering efficiency and savings. However, by doing their job EWS affiliates help to instill in businesses a sense that waste is never what it seems to be. Everything is not so cut-and-dry, and it’s everyone’s job to look past routine, make a difference, and start anew.

Can the recession hit recycling?

Monday, January 19th, 2009

With all of the challenges presented to us by the economy, many can’t help but wonder what the recession will do to the recycling industry. They may wonder what impact the economy and the financial crisis will have on recycling; will it be harder to find a market for recycled materials? However, while some may say that demand is lower for recycled materials, it’s important to remember that waste is a constant.

At Home Business Opportunities

A business based on waste is still a recession proof business. Without recycled materials, companies across the country would be forced to spend more and more money in order to manufacture their products. With recycled materials the burden of the economy and the financial crisis is lessened, helping companies cope with times.

Businesses all over are pushing through the financial crisis and refusing to quit. That means two things: First, it’s clear that businesses still need to save money by streamlining waste management. Cutting costs without slowing down business is always a good thing. Second, businesses will always have the need for cheap and dependable recycled materials. Both of these truths ensure that EWS affiliates will always have the opportunity to not only take advantage of waste themselves, but also help their client businesses do the same.

When we said that EWS is a recession proof business, we meant it. The need for saving is everywhere, and it can only become more necessary. The opportunities that EWS provides in the form of materials exchange programs and waste management streamlining are like a safety net for businesses. Every day it becomes clearer, with the way things are and the unpredictable direction of the economy, EWS affiliates provide an essential service.

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.
