Brexis Courier has recently made great strides in their effort to become environmentally friendly. Since March, the company has followed green practices at their work site in order to save money, conserve resources and serve as an example for other courier companies. Their goal is to create a competitive advantage in the industry because of their green procedures and thus motivate other courier companies to do the same.
Recycling packing materials is the core of the company’s green routine and has shown significant benefits in a short amount of time. Brexis Courier has saved money by reusing boxes, bubble wrap, foam and other packing materials used for shipping products from their warehouse. “We receive on average sixty packages a day and the high volume of cardboard boxes, plastic padding, and foam was piling up in the warehouse. It was an obvious solution for us to reuse the materials not only to save money, but to clear space in the warehouse for other freight,” says Molly Durr, Director of Marketing at Brexis Courier. In addition to reusing packing materials, the company cuts costs and saves energy by leaving windows open instead of turning on the air conditioning and using energy efficient light bulbs.
Part of Brexis Courier’s green agenda is to motivate their employees to change their habits and start thinking about the importance of recycling. One way the company executes this goal is by making recycling easy and accessible for their staff. They purchased two large recycling bins for the warehouse where most of the foot traffic and package handling takes place. The employees can easily discard of the high volume of paper they go through without having to move to a different work station. Brexis Courier continuously looks for new ways to recycle and reuse materials. They recently donated ten PCs to a local organization that will restore the computers and give them to people that can’t afford one.
