At Alpha Graphics, we are committed to creating a sustainable environment. AlphaGraphics GA has four locations;
Alpharetta,
Johns Creek,
Duluth &
Atlanta. Each location creates waste consisting mostly of paper and ink. We created a team who built a recycling plan. It was easy to follow through and ensure all our locations were able to implement the plan.
Our focus on creating a sustainable environment means we are committed to meeting the needs of the present and not compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. Our recycling plan relies on three pillars of focus; economic, environmental, and social.
Are you ready to create and implement a recycling plan for your company? Here are some ideas on how to get started.
Choose Your Team Wisely
It's too big a job for one person. Create a team from different departments and get everyone's perspective on how to build a successful plan. Set aside time for the team to meet regularly and communicate their ideas and goals to the rest of the company.
Take Stock of Your Waste
Have your team complete a visual waste audit. Access the type of waste you create and ensure they can identify these areas of concern.
- Only recycle Bottles, Cans, Paper and Cardboard
- Keep items you plan on recycling clean and dry
- No plastic bags and no bagged recyclables
Key Steps to A Successful Recycling Plan
- Review with your employees what materials are acceptable for recycling.
- Ensure there are trash receptacles next to your recycling bins - making it easy for your team to sort the good from the bad.
- Choose a recycling container that is easy to find.
- Promote your plan with clear, concise communications to all your employees.
- Locate outdoor containers inconvenient, well lite areas.
- Train employees, cleaning crews, and management the right way to separate and dispose of trash and recyclables.
We know that a successful recycling plan can help preserve natural resources, is good for the environment, and may reduce operating costs. Building a business is not just creating profit and loss statements; it is being a responsible member of your community.
