However, there is a solution that can, in fact, renew water waste into a fluid which can be reused.

According to Energy Central, the US surpasses every country in the world regarding energy waste, this includes countries such as China. With 58% of all energy used in America being written off as waste. In consideration of this, you may wish to devise a solution appropriate to your business. For example, an office housing a few people 9 to 5 daily, could take the direction of turning off all electrical and heating equipment once they leave the office.

This would be to record the amount that is wasted and develop amicable solutions to the problem. A few solutions to conserve energy are as follows;

• Solar panels  – This is a free source of power generated by the sun’s UV rays and is inexhaustible.
• Schedule a routine shut down and start-ups of machinery – Manage machinery use to ensure it is being used appropriately and effectively.
• Optimizing and maintaining air compressors regularly –  This has been discovered to make a considerable impact on conserving energy. With $3.2 billion in power wasted due to air compressors not being appropriately surveyed.

By considering using some of the solutions above you can begin to set standards for your industry and add it to the values and mission of your company to help conserve and protect the planet’s resources.
