The more we learn about our planet and the toll our lifestyle is taking on it, the more we become aware of just how essential it is to have environmental control systems in place. Every business owner should do everything he can to support the environment, and today’s technology has made it possible for us to control almost every aspect of our environments and what we put in them. All business owners are leaders in their community, so it is essential that they lead the way in protecting Mother Earth by putting environmental control systems in place.

Here are some of the most common systems that help business owners keep the environment safe:
1. Silver Recovery and Refining - Industries like printing, photofinishing, retail stores, and other commercial facilities can benefit greatly from utilizing a system to collect and refine silver. All metals require manufacturing and work that takes a toll on our environment, and one way to control this is to refine and recover the silver that has already been removed from the ground. Silver recovery and refining also has an added benefit because it provides an ...
... additional revenue stream because business owners receive payment for the silver they turn over.

2. Film Recycling - The healthcare industry and the photofinishing industry both benefit greatly from this type of environmental control system. Companies like ECS cares purchase and recycle scrap film, both processed and unprocessed. They also work to ensure confidentiality so that the contents of the film are not released out into the open. Most film has quite a bit of silver in it, so recycling film often has a financial advantage as well.

3. Chemical Recycling and Disposal - Of course there are plenty of laws in place regarding the disposal of chemicals, but many solvents and chemicals can also be recycled. Environmental control systems can help you recycle these chemicals in a way that not only keeps them out of the landfills but also finds unique ways to reuse them.

4. Sharps Disposal - Of course the dental and medical fields require that you have a safe way to get rid of sharps, and this is also very important for the environment. The only way to help keep our world safe from epidemics is to dispose of sharps properly. Most programs offer quarterly or monthly pickups of sharps, but a better value can usually be had by swapping that out with an as needed program like the one offered by ECS Cares.

5. Electronic Waste - Every business has electronic waste from time to time, and it’s important to have a system in place to help with this. Electronics need to be decommissioned properly and then all the components need to be sorted and recycled properly. This will help make the most of these electronic items even after they have passed their period of usefulness within the electronics world.

Environmental control systems can take just about any shape or form. We have developed our lifestyle around so many products and services that are potentially damaging to our environments, and we simply can’t live without them now. This is why it is up to us to put environmental control systems in place so that we can live much more responsibly than we have in the past. All it takes is education about what’s available and the knowledge about how to put these control systems to work for us.
