The move with low environmental impact. From the fleet to recyclable materials
One of the aspects that is difficult to take into consideration when organizing a move is the environmental impact it can have: between packaging materials (many), transport trips and materials to be disposed of, it’s no small matter. Still, something can be done here too. Precisely for this reason it is important to choose a moving company that cares about the well-being of the planet.
How to reduce the environmental impact
There are three main elements that determine a more environmentally conscious move: a reduction in air and noise pollution, a reduction in consumption and waste of natural resources with the choice of products with low environmental impact and correct waste disposal. These are actions that in no way lower the quality or safety of the service offered to customers, but on the contrary give it added value.
Concrete gestures for a green move
Big goals that pass through small but significant daily choices. Such as attention to the vehicle fleet with the purchase of Euro 6 vehicles and methane-powered vehicles or the installation of particulate filters to reduce dust. Like choosing diesel fuel with the lowest sulfur content. Like the use of the Trans-Hygienic-System methodology for sanitizing vehicles and premises. Such as the application of the principle of RRDRR (Saving – Recovery – Separate – Reuse – Recycle) and the selection of environmentally friendly and recyclable materials and products. Like diversification and energy procurement towards cleaner sourcesand with less impact on the atmosphere. Like investments in renewable energy with the installation of a photovoltaic system. Like the planting of trees for the felling and zeroing of the emissions produced.
Alone and together with others
Choosing an eco-sustainable company also means verifying the environmental policy of its partners: to be truly green, it not only applies good ecological practices itself, but also chooses suppliers who are equally attentive to nature and possibly applies an action to raise awareness towards them. Attention to the environment within the company also involves constant training of employees, to promote their responsibility and increase awareness of environmental issues.
Check the certifications
If you have the feeling that attention to the environment is often just a marketing strategy of companies, don’t stop at what the moving company tells you but look for objective confirmation of its good practices. Is it ISO 14001 certified for environmental policies ? Based on the “Plan-Do-Check-Act” methodology, ISO 14001 provides a systematic framework for the integration of practices to protect the environment, preventing pollution, reducing waste, energy consumption and some materials. Only in the presence of this certification can we truly speak of Eco Trasloco.
