Waste Management and Recycling Firm Polishes Green Image

July 16, 2012 - PRLog -- HOUSTON – St. Charles, IL-based Facility Environmental Management, Inc. helps businesses manage their waste streams while meeting environmental and cost goals.  The company recently enrolled with the Green Business Bureau (GBB) to become green business certified.
“We care about the environment and the impact waste has on it,” says Cynthia Richards, Facility Environmental Management’s Sales and Marketing Director.  “We want to make a difference by decreasing waste and increasing resources.”
To that end, says Richards, the company began researching green certification programs.  After researching the best way to go green, she says, the company found the GBB was the best to help it go green, and also a resource to help its clients go green.
The GBB promotes and educates businesses on the importance of sustainable operating practices through its national, third-party certification.  Combining a cutting-edge online platform with independent, third-party auditing, the GBB offers a robust accreditation that demonstrates to consumers that a business has committed to employing eco-friendly practices.  The GBB membership seal has become a recognized symbol that identifies an environmentally-responsible enterprise  to  consumers and other businesses alike.
Prior to enrolling with the GBB, Facility Environmental Management had implemented a number of green initiatives of its own, including recycling paper, cardboard, plastics, and organics.  The company also implements “waste to energy” when available, and has recently initiated a Zero Waste Program.
Moving forward, says Richards, Facility Environmental Management is looking forward not only to less negatively impacting our environment, but also the cost savings and marketing recognition green certification will bring.
