From Air Quality to Water Conservation, Pollock Paper Distributors can help you implement a sustainable environmental program.
Why Does “GREEN” Matter?
Every year, commercial buildings in the United States consume over
| • 40% of total energy |
• 35% of raw materials |
| • 500 million pounds of cleaning equipment |
• 10% of potable water |
| • 6 billion pounds of chemical products |
• 65% of total electricity |
| • 4.5 billion pounds of paper products |
• 35 billion pounds of plastic liners |
The EPA rates indoor air quality as one of the top five health risks, because it is three to five times more harmful than outdoor air quality. Annually, over 100 million workdays are lost due to poor indoor air quality.
Everywhere you look, society and corporate America are pushing
for sustainable solutions in every aspect of life. This is no longer
a trend, but an ongoing way of life.
Environmental Responsibility = Green Solutions
Sustainability = Building Longevity
Partnering & Stewardship = Global Impact
