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.

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.

The Numbers Say It All

Potential EWS affiliates and businesses across the country continually wonder what more they could be doing? What can they do to make a little more money? How can things be just a little bit easier? More often than not, businesses and potential EWS affiliates fail to see the connection between waste and savings. EWS helps everyone benefit from waste. Regardless of the angle, waste can be put to work.

Through more effective waste management, businesses can see more of their profit, jobs in the waste industry flourish, the economy is strengthened, and the environment becomes one step closer to a healthy future. In the process, aside from helping clients, the environment, and the economy – EWS affiliates make a good living in the process.

Statistics show, using recycled glass instead of new materials consumes 40 percent less energy. This is one area where EWS affiliates are happy to lend a hand. By highlighting the importance (and possibilities) of recycling, EWS affiliates help reduce the impact businesses make on the environment, encouraging them to recycle more and more than they ever have in the past. Ultimately, it comes down to much more than profit and the environment. Not only do EWS affiliates help their clients operate more effectively, but they help create jobs and revenue while sustaining the environment. There is no downside.

By more effectively managing waste streams, EWS affiliates see themselves as a changing force in business. Across the country and throughout time, waste has been a problem. . It’s true. It’s unavoidable, but EWS affiliates prove otherwise. EWS offers potential clients and affiliates an opportunity to create value on a number of levels, all with what we so easily call 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.

Quality Waste Management = Quality of Life

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

If there was no waste management whatsoever, what would the world look like? It would be a mess. History has taught us that every civilization throughout history has had to incessantly deal with waste. For example, ancient civilizations such as Mesopotamia thrived in part due to their ability to properly dispose of their waste. On the other hand, others didn’t adopt the same concern for proper waste disposal. In turn, their quality of life was sacrificed. It is no surprise that life still works that way. If we didn’t empty the trash for months on end the problem would become much harder to manage than if we had been responsible in the first place, it is the same with waste management in a business setting. But why the history lesson?

Examining the importance of waste management points out one very important fact that has remained true throughout the ages, waste won’t go away. The better we can deal with waste, the better life will be. Better waste management leads to a better quality of life, and EWS is here to make that happen.

It is in this day and age that efficient and effective waste management matters the most. Through science and technology, it has become clear that efficient waste management is not simply a good thing to do, but it is essential. Waste management has moved beyond simply a good habit to something that we realize must happen.

Environmental Waste Solutions stands at the forefront of a completely new understanding of waste management. Through effective waste management consulting and by streamlining waste management EWS can reduce the amount that businesses waste and how much businesses spend on waste. By endeavoring to help clients streamline their waste, EWS affiliates become involved in something much greater, they help bring about the next evolution in waste management.

EWS affiliates contribute to what will become a greener future.

Biomass

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

While we continually hear about global warming, carbon emissions, and alternative power sources – multitudes of scientists continually search for new sources of energy that will reduce our reliance on fuel sources that have been deemed environmentally hazardous. According to recent studies, approximately 65% of our waste is biomass.

“Biomass” refers to living and dead biological and organic matter. Most often, biomass refers to plant matter which has been grown to be used specifically as biofuel – but biomass also refers to all plant and animal products and biodegradable materials. Most importantly, all biomass can be burnt as fuel to be used in production in an extremely wide variety of markets – cutting costs as well as eliminating the dependence on dirty and environmentally hazardous fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum.

Let that sink in a moment. Think of how many businesses produce biomass that can be utilized to someday contribute to the synthesis of a renewable energy source. While this one idea for renewable bio fuel is still a relatively new one – the possibilities that the future holds are amazing. EWS affiliates deal with businesses that produce biomass every day. As a society we are on the verge of groundbreaking environmental changes that will revolutionize waste’s role in society. Waste will stop being waste.

Today, EWS continues to revolutionize waste management and offer clients a level of efficiency that they never thought possible. While our society continues to present us with groundbreaking changes pertaining to conservation and the environment – there will be new ways to more efficiently manage waste. By increasing awareness for efficient and responsible waste management, EWS affiliates help clients contribute to a clean future environment. In addition, while scientists continue to discovery new uses for the waste created by businesses, EWS affiliates will someday be able to help their clients save money on an even greater scale.

While there will always be waste, the possibilities are continuing to multiply. With a growing focus on conservation and renewable energy, waste from a variety of industries could some day become far more than waste, and EWS will be there every step of the way, ensuring that our clients get the most out of their waste.

That’s a novel concept isn’t it? Getting the most out of waste? No matter how strange it sounds – with EWS it’s possible.
