"An active recycling strategy for
unwanted assets is about to become the only viable option for
businesses and their
FMs." Gregor
Pennie, Adviser to the Environment Agency
In March 2004, Harrow Green launched possibly its
most innovative service in its twenty-two year history.
The
Green Package, an environmental services initiative,
helps facilities managers play
their part in sustainable waste management by recycling
redundant IT and furniture and finding new homes for equipment
that would have otherwise
ended up in landfill. The service also offers refurbishment and re-marketing solutions as part of the computer recycling initiative, providing clients with ‘value recovery’ – money back on something that might have otherwise been destined for the dustbin.
Add a social initiative that provides employment opportunities
for disadvantaged people, and you have a service that turns
the true spirit of corporate social responsibility into
a common sense, business sense,
reality.
