Going Green. If you were to discuss a ‘hot topic’ amongst associates, friends, or the like, this would most definitely be one worthy of your time and efforts. Whether it be commercial or residential spaces, more and more people are finding ways to improve their efficiency in the world and to lower their impact on the environment.
So, how can this be done you ask? It’s as easy as changing a light bulb to an energy efficient one, turning off that light or other appliances when not in use, recycling waste easily taken at your curbside, watching the runoff from your sprinkle system, or harvesting the rain water from your gutters to your garden.
With the vastly increasing population, the impact that we have as a society on the earth’s finite resources must be addressed.
The same holds true for Healthcare- its smart practices can encourage a greener planet.
As a healthcare manufacturer, Modular Services Company realizes our responsibility and is making vast improvements within our organization to make a difference. MSC recycles all steel and aluminum materials leftover from the manufacturing process. All products are free of latex, DEHP, Mercury phthalates, persistent accumulative toxic compound, carcinogens and reproductive toxins – all extremely detrimental to the environment.
To decrease waste, Modular Services Company packages all of our products in the least amount of material needed for safe transport and use. Packages are specifically made for the product/products being shipped and their designated quantities and all shipping containers are made from cardboard or wood, both materials easily recycled.
As a company, Modular has recently formed a ‘Healthy Environment Committee’ to encourage healthy living amongst employees and their environment. The committee has started a paper recycling program throughout the administrative offices and manufacturing plant. They have placed new vending machines in break rooms with healthier & fresher eating choices. In addition, Modular has encouraged exercise by participating in the American Heart Association Heart Walk and starting a walking program in which employees compete against for prizes.
Modular Services Company is always looking for new and improved ways to minimize our effect on the environment and will continue these efforts for future generations.
Just a few fun, fast and last minute thoughts to “go green” by – “It’s a lawn not a lake!”, “You are what you eat!”, and last but not least, “Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle!”
