Earth Day Tips from Zeftron® Nylon
At Zeftron nylon, we strive to achieve maximum recyclability in both our work and our personal life.
With Earth Day upon us, we invite you to join Zeftron nylon by taking the time to do just a little something extra for the planet today.
We want to remind you about Zeftron nylon's 6ix Again® Program, our industry-leading commercial carpet recycling program. Any Zeftron nylon branded carpet or carpet being replaced by a Zeftron branded style is eligible to be recycled through the 6ix Again Program, providing end-users of commercial carpet an environmentally responsible alternative to landfill disposal. For more information please call 800-839-3233 or to learn more visit www.6ixmadesimple.com
If you don't have any carpet that needs recycling, the Environmental Protection Agency offers these tips to reduce, reuse and recycle at home or event at the office:
- Travel green. When you travel, stay at hotels that use less water or energy. Before you go, unplug electronics that use electricity even when "off."
- Print less. Use spell check and proofread before you print or copy. Print double sided whenever possible. Minimize the amount of paper you use.
- Buy green. Buy recycled content, remanufactured, and recyclable office products, and recycle them when appropriate (including e-cycling electronics).
- Clean out your files. Recycle papers you no longer need. Many organizations sponsor cleaning weeks.
- Maintain and repair products. Keep appliances in good working order. Follow the manufacturers' suggestions for proper operation and maintenance.
- Just bag it. Take reusable bags on shopping trips. Keep them in your car or near your door to remember. You can also reuse paper or plastic shopping bags.
- Compost it. When properly composted, kitchen wastes can become natural soil additives for lawns, gardens, and even house plants.
