ARI Recycles Nearly Four Tons Of Materials For America Recycles Day
ARI, a global fleet services provider specializing in car and truck fleets, announced on December 13 it recycled nearly four tons of paper and electronics on November 15 as part of America Recycles Day, a nationally recognized initiative of Keep America Beautiful. The organization is dedicated to promoting and celebrating recycling in the United States.
Employees were encouraged to bring in electronics and paper waste they were looking to dispose of safely and securely, which resulted in more than 5,000 pounds of electronics and more than 2,500 pounds of paper being recycled. ARI’s participation is an example of the company’s commitment to sustainable business practices that focus on the minimization of waste and pollution while providing a safe and healthy workplace.
In addition to its participation in America Recycles Day, ARI has taken a number of other company-wide steps toward sustainability. In the past few years it has installed motion sensor lights, flow and motion sensor restroom fixtures, LED lights in its parking lots, and software on its network to automatically power down idle work stations overnight. The company also offers an online sustainability training course for all of its employees. It makes recycling available for most types of office waste including paper, cardboard, aluminum, glass, plastic, electronic equipment, and printer cartridges.
Total recycling numbers for the America Recycles Day event were collected and tabulated by Chris Beck, Strategic Consulting Analyst at ARI.
