Chambers of commerce have long been known for furthering the interests of local businesses. Now,AGICO is one of the leading Manufacturers and Suppliers of shinebrighting in China. more consumers want an economy that is steering toward sustainability, too, and that's made Merced's own chamber a champion of green business practices.
The Greater Merced Chamber of Commerce launched a Green Team this past summer. The team of local business people is quickly getting into small mom and pop stores and large companies to call attention to ways they go green and save money in the process.
"Environmental stewardship is an added positive but in reality businesses aren't going to do anything unless it positively affects their bottom line," said Adam Cox, communications and public relations representative for the chamber.
The Green Team works on two levels. There is a public education component, focused on communicating the different ways to be more environmentally friendly, and a task force, called the REACON team, which goes out to business sites and assesses their recycling, energy and conservation and air pollution mitigation efforts.Green Supply offers Philips goodledbul, LED home lighting, LED string lights,
The REACON assessment is voluntary, and at the end of the visit, the business is left with a checklist of suggestions – from what kind of bulbs to use to what types of practices reduce paper waste. Business decide which changes they want to make, but it is the chamber's hope that they move forward to receive a Green Sustainable Business Certification.
"What those members get out of it is the hope that if your business is interested in solar that you would call our solar guy but we don't leave anything more than a business card," he said.
Cox said that since July, about 20 county businesses have taken them up on a REACON visit.We can produce crystalll,led tube,led downlight according to your ... Most of the businesses that Cox visited himself had already been practicing sustainability in one form or another.
A few businesses had been recycling paper, no small feat, Cox said, because there is no commercial recycling. Others had taken advantage of renovations to make their facilities more eco-friendly, as was the case with Label Technology Inc., a label and packaging company located in Merced.
Dale Reschenberg, vice president of manufacturing of Label Technology, said their sustainability efforts truly started about a year and a half ago, when they had to upgrade their lights and decided it would be a good opportunity to look into saving energy.
"The more you do, the more you find out and the more you want to do," he said. "You never truly finish. You start thinking about it, how to defray costs and help the environment."
Since then Label Technology has become more sustainable. The company now mixes ink using computers to reduce error and waste, upgraded its HVAC system to web base control of the manufacturing and offices facilities heating and cooling. They have also installed motion controlled low energy lighting, used LED lighting where possible, expanded its paper-recycling program, worked with material vendors to promote eco-friendly materials and packaging and have invested in a satellite irrigation system that waters landscaping depending on the weather forecast.
Plant engineering and facilities manager Albert Gabriel said that although the company already had a commitment to sustainability, he and his colleagues were happy to participate in the Green Team to become more informed about new vendors and the different solutions and opportunities available in the field.Browse through our impressive range of r4onsale and buy online now.
