We are committed to reduce, re-use and recycle waste .We take the following steps to achieve this:
Eliminate unnecessary reports and reduce report size.
Eliminate unnecessary forms and redesign to use less paper.
Don't use cover sheets on faxes.
Make fewer copies. Share copies and don't make more copies than you need.
Print or copy on both sides.
Proof documents on screen and preview before printing.
Set up computers to automatically print two-sided.
Take steps to reduce unsolicited mail.
Design mailers which avoid the use of envelopes (fold and staple the paper). Use electronic mail and voice mail.
Collect paper that has been used on one side and reuse as draft paper in fax machines.
Buy only copiers and printers that will make two-sided copies reliably.
Reuse envelopes by placing a label over the old address.
Use reusable envelopes for interoffice mail.
Use outdated letterhead for in-house memos.
Reuse file folders.
Shred newspapers and reuse for packaging.
Wood is completely recycled in any form possible when making boxes crates and lift vans. We also re-use thick gauge plastic, wherever possible.
Use appropriate disposal and recycling methods for all electrical wastes, electronic equipment, Oils and other contaminated wastes.
Estimate how much waste paper your office produces and arrange to shred for filling packages.
Clearly labeled recycling bins should be kept near copiers, shipping and receiving areas, and in employee eating areas to collect white paper, mixed paper, newspaper, magazines, cardboard as well as non-paper products (glass, aluminum, plastic, etc).
Don't buy paper that is a contaminant in recycling, e.g. thermal fax paper, glossy/plastic coatings, plastic windows, bright colors including goldenrod, laser printer inks, adhesive products.
Print directly on envelopes rather than using labels.
In practice and to ensure our commitment to pollution prevention and environmental conservation, our aims are:
All at Freight are made aware of the need to conserve energy as a part of our induction training. We conserve energy and water wherever possible by:
Turn off lights that aren't in use. Getting rid of costly and inefficient incandescent bulbs, and replace them with compact, fluorescent lights. Not only do compact fluorescents use a quarter of the power of traditional bulbs, but they can also last much longer.
Configure computers to enter sleep mode when they're not in use. While it's generally a good idea to turn off electronic equipment, computers waste more energy by rebooting than they do in the hibernation mode. Only turn off computers and monitors at the end of the day, as they won't be used for many hours.
Unplug unnecessary electronic equipment when it is not in use. This is especially important for devices like cell-phone chargers, as they can be a constant drain on power throughout the day. Unplug all the electric equipments like printers, photocopiers…etc until they're needed.
Recycle paper whenever possible. Configure office copy machines to print on both sides of pages. Encourage employees to use scrap paper to take notes.
When washing hands or dishes, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water. Collect the water you use for rinsing fruits and vegetables, then reuse it to water for the plants.
Designate one glass for your drinking water each day or refill a water bottle. This will cut down on the number of glasses to wash.
Drop your tissue in the trash instead of flushing it and save water every time.
Chemicals of a corrosive or hazardous nature are not used and our efforts are to the maximum, to use the cleaning products which are environment friendly wherever possible. If at all the waste is produced this is disposed of safely, in compliance with the rules and regulation of the respective Government authorities.
Make sure your car is running well to avoid costly repairs, reduce pollution, and improve the mileage of your vehicle. Clean out your Truck !!
Conserve our natural resources through the use and support of recycled packing materials and the management of waste and debris.
Consider the impact upon our environment prior to services or goods being acquired.
Ensure that environmental laws and standards are adhered to.
Encourage staff and supplier involvement through awareness of environmental policies.
