Environmental Business Practices

*Read my Disclosure
In order to be successful, a business must get two essential things right: They must add something of value to the world and they must be profitable. Studies have shown that businesses that produce a lot of trash do not produce as much value or profit as those who follow the advice to reduce, reuse and recycle.


It feels really good to know that doing the right thing for the environment and for your customers comes back to you in the form of profits. It is great to know that recycling can be a means to improve your performance on both of the metrics that matter the most to the success of your business. This is one of those relatively rare win-win situations where the obvious answer is so easy to get behind because all of the incentives line up on the same side of the decision equation.

Happily, recent decades have seen big progress in the business of recycling. You no longer need to grow your own solutions. Other businesses exist, such as Easi Recycling, whose mission is to help you with your recycling needs. This trend allows businesses to outsource help in this area so they can continue to focus on their core business.

In the past, businesses doing this were breaking new ground. Thus, it took a lot of time and attention away from other things. These days, recycling is a more mature industry. This is good news for people wanting to do good while doing well.
