Times are changin’

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

In November, The New York Times Reported that the “Environmental Protection Agency proposed that incinerator operators around the country be required to reduce the amount of garbage they burn by 25 percent by recycling it instead.” However, that was the November of 1989 and the recycling movement was set upon on all sides by levels of reluctance and resistance that we would be shocked to witness today. Back then, the EPA saw the plan as a method of cutting emissions of substances that are toxic, lower ash in landfills, and “promote its goal of reducing the nation’s garbage by 25% by 1992!” Well, we’ve come a long way since then and the push to recycle has met many of its goals. Take the incinerator industry for instance. One of the staunchest opponents of recycling years ago has been drastically pushed to the background, and recycling is at the forefront of our minds– causing businesses to go green and individuals to do all they can to make a positive impact.

Just as there were vocal proponents of recycling 20 years ago, pressure to recycle has increased today and while there was profit in not recycling back then– there is profit in recycling today. Presented with that very fact — that there’s actually profit in recycling– many businesses are confused, assuming recycling to simply be a selfless volunteer effort taken to make an impact. While all of that is true– recycling is selfless and it makes an impact, it doesn’t have to have to be hard and it can even be profitable.

When getting rid of garbage means burning it, just think of all the opportunities that literally go up in smoke. Lost is all the paper, plastic, metal, and more that could potentially be used to create more products with recycled materials. Not only is that waste actually wasted, but any benefit the businesses involved could have realized is also gone. The provider of recycled plastic doesn’t save money with recycling that’s more efficient than waste hauling or incinerating and the business actually using the recycled plastic is forced to use virgin plastic—drastically impacting the consumption of natural resources and the creation of harmful emissions.

Don’t Fall Behind

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Recycling is bigger than ever. Schools, towns, cities, and even countries across the world are encouraging the entire global community to recycle their waste. It’s not hard, so why isn’t everyone doing it? What’s holding everyone back? Recycling takes time. Let’s be honest, businesses have too much to worry about in the day to spend time paying attention to waste. EWS changes this, making it possible for businesses to make a difference without wasting a second of precious business time.

Just as towns all over have adopted mandatory recycling programs, businesses are encouraged to make the same effort to make a difference—but it’s hard. EWS makes it easy to make the difference that so many have made in their households. For instance, when it comes to plastic—not only does recycling allow businesses to save money on waste management, but it allows businesses to reduce emissions created by producing more plastic bottles. If this is possible for plastic bottles, just think of what’s possible for other items that are used and thrown away every day in businesses across the country.

By recycling, households and businesses prevent excess amounts of waste from being sent to sit in landfills for years to come—contributing to the production of more products that will in turn be thrown away and simply added on top of the pile. For example, if a large business managed to recycle one ton of plastic, the energy used saved would be roughly the equivalent of 2 people’s energy usage for an entire year as well as the amount of water used by a single person in 2 months. If the same effort was made for virtually every recyclable product, the difference that could be made is simply stunning.

Wealth in Waste

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

We’ve all heard the saying, “Reduce, Recycle, Reuse” over and over again. However, despite the amount of times we may have heard the saying, it’s hard to say exactly what it means. How are businesses supposed to reduce, recycle, and reuse, especially when business is centered on using in order to produce. When businesses are so focused on producing, it’s often hard to give the same attention to reducing waste.

With EWS, businesses finally have the chance to make a difference without losing focus of what they got into business for in the first place. When it comes to the necessity of more efficient waste management, the results speak for themselves. In fact, EWS affiliates have experienced a strange reception to their work. While, EWS affiliates approach each client hoping to negotiate a contract, the service they offer never seems hard to sell, especially when each offer is essentially an offer for free money and a clearer conscience.

By ensuring that waste management is efficient and effective and that all recyclable materials get to where they need to go, businesses save money and help the environment. But the best part is that it’s about as easy as can be. In the fast paced business world that we’re so often forced to keep up with, it’s always nice to be confronted by an easy decision, where the only issue is how much you can save by helping the environment.

In a business-world where cost-cutting and downsizing are too frequently resorted to in the name of profit, the service EWS offers is too remarkable to pass up.

Hidden treasures: they’re easier to find that you may think

Wednesday, June 18th, 2008

Try this experiment next time you’re sitting in a meeting where they’ve lost your attention, or at a restaurant while waiting for your meal: Take a look around you; and consider the number of recyclable items that are often overlooked. Now consider that there’s a business opportunity associated with each item.

Did you ever think that the chair you may be sitting on is made from recycled plastic? Or that the plates are made from recycled aluminum cans. And what about your local sub shops – what do they do with its old cans, bottles, and plastic food containers? Could that be the new park benches?

Perhaps they recycle, likely they are required to so – restaurants, office buildings, even your neighborhood drycleaner. But are they doing it efficiently? What happens to the waste? And how can you benefit from these disposable items while helping them learn better ways of eliminating it?

Environmental Waste Solutions (EWS) is all about providing waste management consulting services through its EWS affiliates across the country, who have been reaching out to a variety of industries to help them learn the cost-benefits associated with their recycling programs. And the good news…more trash is being eliminated from our landfills and being recycled into other items, and the recycling service practically sells itself. It’s a win-win for everyone.

Now that this recycling idea is in your subconscious, you won’t be able to look at any item and not think of it as a money-making business opportunity or pass by a business and not see a potential customer.

The opportunities are endless for EWS affiliates. As long as there are people on the planet, there will be waste – and in that, opportunities to be seized and yes new products to be made…to be recycled, yet, again.

Calling all entrepreneurs: Take your share of a $50 billion pie

Monday, June 9th, 2008

If someone told you they would share a slice of a $50 Billion pie with you, would you listen? You’d almost be crazy not to at least hear their pitch; in particular entrepreneurial-types who are always itching for a new lucrative business opportunity.

Does this sound like you? Of course it does. You’re reading this because you know you are an entrepreneur at heart. The one that sees opportunity even when an economic downturn can shed a rather dreary light on your balance sheet; entrepreneurs forge ahead.

In today’s economy with real estate prices continuing to drop, mortgage lenders finding the “recession” almost unrecoverable, and builders… well, they’re waiting for the real estate folks to get it going again, so the mortgage lenders can lend, so they can build.

It is one vicious economic cycle.

Perhaps it’s time to consider taking on a new venture that can nearly guarantee you that you will weather the economic storm, maybe while even maintaining visibility in front of your current customers – in particular in you work in a service-based industry such as real estate, mortgage lending, and construction.

Environmental-Waste Solutions (EWS) may have the solution for you.

With over 25 years in the environmental waste consulting business, EWS can help you create a lucrative cash flow that in an industry that doesn’t need an introduction. It’s simple: RECYLCLING programs – which have been in existence for decades. By becoming an EWS affiliate, you will be joining other entrepreneurs who seized the opportunity to take on a growing industry.

Companies across the nation need to recycle, but many aren’t aware of their options, in particular smaller businesses that may represent a portion of your customer base. Put another way – you already may have built-in leads. More so, you can have a cash flow while demonstrating your environmentally conscious business practices, and maintaining customer relations.

Better yet, you may find that becoming an EWS affiliate is the new business venture you’d been looking for that will replace your current profession.

Just think – that while the economy is slowly recovering, you still have customers with whom you’d like to maintain contact. After all, you don’t want them forgetting you when the economy picks up again. So why not offer them another service that helps them and the environment, while giving you your piece of a $50 billion pie.

Enjoy the Omelet, but Remember the Egg Shells

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

What is the goal of a business? Profit, but in order to profit every business produces some sort of product. Regardless of the product, the process of creation will always lead to something else as well. By producing virtually any product, businesses will at the same time produce waste. EWS affiliates enable businesses to retain more profit, by transforming their bi-product into something other than waste. EWS affiliates enable their clients to look at waste, not in the literal sense of the word, but as something else entirely.

EWS allows businesses to deal with the ever-present adage, “If you’re going to make an omelet, you’ve got to break some eggs”. Every business offers their customers something. Regardless of what that something is, the waste will always be there. Restaurants throw away excess food, machine shops must dispose of scrap metal, and grocery stores must throw away spoiled produce. Similarly, when you make an omelet you have to deal with the eggshells. You may throw away the eggshells, you might recycle them, and you may even use them as compost. The key, as EWS realizes, is not treating waste like waste.

In the very same way, businesses have to do something with their bi-product, they could throw it away and pay for inefficient waste management, or they could recycle it. EWS ensures that businesses efficiently and effectively recycle their waste. Like the person who composts their egg shells, not only does the business have an “omelet” (or a product), but they even have the chance to benefit from their bi-product, or waste.

Reduce, Recycle, Reuse – with EWS

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Households, towns, and cities across the country are beginning to enforce recycling regulations – demanding that every effort be made to recycle. Driving in the car, it is becoming increasingly obvious that recycling is no longer a short-lived fad or isolated effort. Recycling is big because the issue of waste is big.

When Americans across the country combine personal and industrial recycling, the benefit to the environment can be astronomical. At the same time, while recycling in the home cannot be ignored, the many benefits that come along with industrial recycling are far more than a clear conscience and a smaller landfill.

Businesses that turn to EWS to help them more effectively manage their industrial waste will discover that they may be missing out on thousands of dollars. They could be throwing away thousands of dollars instead of setting them aside as profit. EWS affiliates can be proud of their work, not only because they make a positive impact on the environment, but because they help businesses keep their profits. In the long-term, EWS affiliates better not only the environment, but the economy as well.

Clients may not know that recycling does much more than give them the opportunity to call themselves “green”. Recycling reduces business costs and creates more jobs. According to the EPA, the recycling industry is a $200 billion dollar industry, comprised of more than 50,000 recycling centers and employing more than 1 million people. By making the most of waste, recycling generates an annual payroll exceeding $36 billion dollars.

Some may ask, so what?

This simply proves that EWS affiliates are a part of an enterprise that extends recycling far beyond what we know it as. By working with EWS, clients contribute to the greater whole – and that’s something both client and affiliate can feel good about.

The Advantage of Recycling

Monday, March 24th, 2008

According to statistics gathered by the U.S. Government, in less than 10 years “recycling and composting activities prevented about 64 million tons of material from ending up in landfills and incinerators. Today, this country recycles 32.5 percent of its waste, a rate that has almost doubled during the past 15 years”

What does this mean for EWS affiliates? The stage has been set for more and more companies to approach effective and responsible waste management in a more serious manner. However, many companies are not accustomed to the rapidly evolving world of waste management, and many companies don’t know their options.

Because of how quickly waste management has entered the global spotlight, companies have been pushed and pushed to contribute in the effort to have a positive or at least neutral impact on the environment. However, not every company has the time or resources to devote to waste management. After all, they do have a business to run. That’s where EWS comes in. Our entire focus is waste management. This allows clients to remain focused on their business while also making a change for the better. The best part is that the positive change is about as cost effective as it gets. It’s free!

If in the span of 10 years businesses can continue to increase the amount of waste that is recycled, landfills will no longer be such blight upon our communities. By working with companies to ensure responsible and effective waste management, EWS affiliates help increase the percentage of businesses that make a positive impact. While the U.S. may recycle 32.5 percent of waste, there is clearly even more room to improve. Every day, EWS affiliates help to increase recycling and responsible waste management across the country; if that’s not working towards a good cause, we don’t know what is.
