GREENER MOVING PRACTICES
Sustainable Moving Through Reusable Crates
In 2000, Move Solutions made the executive decision to transition from cardboard boxes to reusable plastic moving crates. The goal behind this change was to help reduce the growth of municipal solid waste while creating a more efficient relocation service.
Move Solutions became the first commercial office relocation company in the Southwestern United States to adopt reusable crates. The switch from cardboard boxes to plastic crates eliminated approximately 20,000 pounds of waste from Texas landfills every month.
Our packaging methods also include reusable fabric moving pads, minimal biodegradable shrink wrap, and limited tape usage to reduce disposal needs at the job site.
Environmental preservation has long been part of our company philosophy. As the commercial centers we serve continue to grow, we remain committed to sustainable moving practices. In addition to providing reusable crates, we offer pack meeting services that teach clients how to pack their crates safely and efficiently.
PRESERVING RESOURCES THROUGH INNOVATION
Total Office Solutions, LLP
Total Office Solutions, LLP has made a conscious effort to implement sustainability. We recognize the importance of assisting our communities with a better place to work and live. Therefore, we consistently strive to improve upon our own practices and assist in educating others on how they can contribute to the renewal of our earth’s resources.
Each of our companies utilizes an application monitoring system. These particular application monitors keep track of our system resources and minimize the amount of time the equipment is running, thus conserving energy when they are not in use.
Once our computers have reached the end of their life cycle they are taken to a recycling organization. The CPU tower and monitors are then stripped down to their basic components and are recycled or sold for reuse.
