member of the sustainable business network What we are doing
We have joined the Substainable Business Network  www.substainable.org.nz

The Sustainable Business Network is a forum for businesses that are interested in sustainable development practice. By being a member we commit to processes and other businesses that care for the environment.

Chemicals
We have sourced a local manufacturer for most of the chemicals we use. The products are bio-degradable, eco-friendly and based on natural plant extracts (www.greenearth.co.nz)  Where non eco-friendly options are not available we only select chemcals with minimal environmental impact.

Plastic rubbish bags
We have sourced plastic rubbish bags that fit our criteria for use:

  1. They are bio-degradable (broken down within a reasonable time frame and have a very low mass after degrading.
  2. The cost of supply of the “eco-bags”should not be more than current standard plastic bags. Thus just because a product is eco-friendly doesn’t always mean it has to be more expensive.

Rubbish disposal and recycling
Is disposed of in a responsible way. Introduced recycling programs where required.

Paper products
All paper products sold to clients are of a substainable and or recycled nature.

Our cleaning cloths
Cotton towels are recycled by onselling them as premium cleaning cloths.  These clothes are collected then washed and then returned back into circulation. We estimate to get approximately 200 washes (cold wash cycle) out of these cloths before they are not suitable for use.

In our office
We have reduced the amount of printers we have to only one central printer. This has reduced paper, toner,  consumable and energy costs.Where appropriate all copy paper used are of the recycled nature.

Ensure that our company vehicle use is efficient as possible and all vehicles are well maintained.
Review energy consumption in the office and operations area to ensure minimal energy use.

Review other processes that occur in our business  that has an effect on the environment and seek ways to reduce the impact the processes have on the environment.
