Aluminum Recycling Goes Green

The environment is one of our premier concerns at aluminumrecycling.ca, so Going Green is part of our effort to be conscious about the environment.  After all, recycling is an eco-industry in itself.  Our focus is four-fold:  to reduce pollution; to eliminate waste; to endorse reuse instead of disposal; and to save energy.

On its own, aluminum recycling generates a 95% saving of energy compared to the processing and refining new aluminum.  Aluminum is endlessly recyclable, retaining all of its original properties, regardless of how many times it’s recycled.

Going Green means different things to different companies.  It’s clearly dependent on the product, but it’s even more dependent on company philosophy.  Implementation could range from operating a completely eco-friendly factory, to creating manufacturing systems and processes that are fully sustainable. Successful business people in industries worldwide are always paying attention to trends, and Going Green is one of those trends.

Whether it’s local or global, small business or large, business people are realizing that being environmentally conscious is good for business.  Experts around the world agree that achieving long-term business success means Going Green, so companies worldwide are instituting eco-friendly practices that are just plain good for the bottom line.  An eco-friendly company keeps itself ahead of the competition; positions itself ahead of the curve; and creates a positive corporate image in the mind of the public. 

 

 

Every business, every company and every corporation is constantly striving for improvement, and Going Green is just another improvement, but it’s a win-win improvement.  For progressive communities such as Mississauga, environmentally friendly companies are a welcome addition.  So whether a firm decides to install energy efficient lighting, or undertakes to significantly re-tool production process, it all contributes to the betterment of the environment.

Statistics show across-the-board benefits from Going Green, and the aluminum recycling industry is leading the way.  Companies are lowering overhead and experiencing better operating efficiencies, both of which translate into better profit margins.  Even government tax breaks and incentives are meaningful to the bottom line.  And there are also less tangible, yet positive side effects:  employee health is enhanced; workers are happier and more productive; and a company’s corporate image is amplified because it’s doing business in a socially responsible fashion.

Whether a company undertakes simple steps, like improving heating and ventilation, or decides to completely overhaul their wastewater and sewage systems, it all contributes to a better environment.  For aluminumrecycling.ca, whatever we’ve implemented under the banner of “Going Green”, our corporate philosophy continues to be driven by the watchwords reduce, re-use and recycle.
