why go green?

- Envirowise research shows that businesses go green and reduce costs. A recent survey showed that nearly two thirds of businesses questioned expected this. When it comes to the crunch - waste minimisation and resource efficiency do save money.
- Businesses derive strong competitive advantages from going green that are not derailed by economic concerns. A global survey by MORI covering 15 major markets revealed that over half of those surveyed preferred to buy products and services from organisations with good environmental reputations and 80% claimed to want to work for green businesses.
- Going green has been shown to be a driver for innovation and provides a bedrock for any corporate social responsibility programme. Going green not only looks good, it feels good on the balance sheet too.
- To help you build a green infrastructure, Green Drainage Solutions will ensure that your drains run smoothly. This will avoid disruption to your normal business activities, problems for your customers, prosecution under environmental legislation, negative publicity and public health nuisance.
- No environmental management system is complete without proper waste disposal. A green approach to your drainage issues will enhance your environmental ratings.
- Up to 75% of all drain and sewer blockages are caused by fats, oil and grease (FOG’s). Around 3,000 tonnes of fat is removed by South West Water from sewers each year which causes up to 6,000 blockages. Proper maintenance helps to reduce blockages in private drains and prevent grease build up and reduces the fat load in sewers.
