Zeno Renewables’ Post

In my COMM 481 class with Rose McKinney, APR, Fellow PRSA, and Gregory J. Zimprich, APR, Fellow PRSA, we learned the importance of staying updated with news, particularly in business. One story that caught my attention, courtesy of the StarTribune Media Company LLC, discusses efforts to reduce waste in the Twin Cities area. What struck me most was the potential impact highlighted in the article: the growth of new businesses focusing on thrift stores, refurbishment, and repair shops could generate 15,000 jobs in Minnesota. Thrift stores, in particular, are gaining traction as a significant trend. Embracing thrifting aligns with sustainable practices and contributes positively to our planet. Encouraging the establishment of more privately owned thrift shops in Minnesota could further bolster economic growth and job opportunities. #COMM481 You can find the story here: https://lnkd.in/ghB-QKGC

College students at Tulane University started a venture that is keeping glass bottles out of the landfill and crushing them into sand for coastal restoration. Their company, Glass Half Full, is the only glass recycling facility in New Orleans. Read about their important work in this feature in the The New York Times. 🌍♻️ #GlassRecycling #Recycling #CircularEconomy #CircularEconomy #Recycling #KnaufSocialSquad

Have you ever had a serendipitous moment in your professional life? This week, the Trash Scouts got to receive lots of brand new Toter carts that we will be using for one of our customers. I spent 5 years with WM learning how to collect and dispose of waste, then 8 years with Toter, providing the containers that collect and move the waste, now at Trash Scouts, I get to see all this come together at this serendipitous moment. No matter your past experiences they, somehow, have a way of bridging themselves together and provide direction at moments you may least expect it. 🧐💡 #carts #toter #trashcollection #wastemanagement #trashscouts #propertymanagement #wastemanagement #recycling #zerowaste #wastereduction

If you really want something- you can make it happen. Because I did it all by myself. Back when I started Ecocrest, I was a one-person show. I rolled up my sleeves and dove headfirst into the world of online business. I learned everything from dropshipping to e-commerce and marketing, all on my own. It wasn't easy, but I poured my heart and soul into Ecocrest, giving it my all. And you know what happened? The results were beyond my dreams. My little brand started to grow & it didn't stop. But why were people drawn to Ecocrest? not just for the eco-friendly products, but for the story behind it all. See, there might only be a handful of founders out there willing to go to these lengths to grow their brand. But for me, it was worth every late night and every learning curve. Because what I got in return was tremendous growth. And the satisfaction of knowing that I was making a difference in the world. So, why do people buy stuff online? Maybe it's because they're drawn to the passion and dedication behind the brand. And if you're looking for products that are more than just items on a shelf, Maybe it's time you checked out Ecocrest. Join me on this journey, and let's make a difference together. Visit our website today and see what Ecocrest is all about. #healthyliving #gogreen #socialimpact #nontoxicliving #ecommerce

At RokPaw, we recognize that effective waste management extends beyond simple disposal. Emphasizing recycling and repurposing is essential to our strategy for fostering a sustainable future. Here’s why these practices are vital: Minimizes Landfill Usage: By recycling and repurposing, we significantly reduce the volume of waste that ends up in landfills, mitigating environmental pollution. Conserves Natural Resources: Recycling enables the reuse of valuable materials such as metals, paper, and plastics, thereby preserving natural resources and reducing the demand for raw materials. Energy Efficiency: Creating products from recycled materials consumes less energy than manufacturing from virgin resources, leading to lower carbon emissions and a reduced carbon footprint. Sustainability: Repurposing items promotes a circular economy, reducing waste and ensuring resources remain available for future generations. Community Benefits: Recycling initiatives generate jobs and enhance community involvement. RokPaw collaborates with local organizations to bolster recycling efforts and community clean-up projects. Commit to recycling and repurposing with RokPaw and contribute to a sustainable tomorrow. Together, we can drive positive change. 👉 Discover more about our sustainable services at https://bit.ly/3XMdJyS #RokPawWasteServices #GreenBusiness #CircularEconomy

As we celebrate Earth Day at Regent, we find it more important than ever to shine a light on initiatives we've introduced to further enhance the environmental friendliness of our properties. 

 ➡ E-Waste Disposal

 Our properties in Austin (TX), Dallas (TX), San Diego (CA), and Carlsbad (CA) regularly organize E-waste recycling events. We make things simple by providing opportunities for tenants to ethically dispose of their old electronics and gadgets. By participating, it’s easier than ever for members of these communities to actively contribute to reducing electronic waste and fostering environmental responsibility.

 ➡ Document Shredding
 Trammell Crow Center in Dallas, TX conducts frequent shredding services powered by Balcones. As a result of shredding paper, tenants can experience peace of mind, protect sensitive information, and help cut down on the amount of paper being thrown into landfills by up to 60%.
 ➡ Eyeglasses Donation Drive
 Last month, Trammell Crow Center, our corporate offices in Los Angeles and Dallas, and all Regent Property Management offices participated in a unique recycling program to help those in need to collect used eyeglasses, sunglasses, and unused contact lenses. This ethical approach to spring cleaning aimed to make a difference by providing resources that could help children with reading, adults with career success, and seniors with independence.
 ➡ Organic Waste Programs

 In San Diego, CA, at 1 Columbia Place, 2 Columbia Place, and 701B, we are proud to introduce a comprehensive organic waste recycling program across our buildings. This initiative aligns with California State Senate Bill 1383 (SB 1383), aimed at reducing organic waste in landfills, to make the city a more sustainable and thriving place for everyone. We are delighted to champion an essential cause and a significant milestone in San Diego's waste management history.
 ➡ Earth Hour

 March 23rd marked an exciting day in the Dallas Arts District at Trammell Crow Center as the property rallied tenants to partake in Earth Hour. Demonstrating our dedication to reducing our environmental impact and advocating for eco-conscious habits, TCC dimmed non-essential lights and minimized appliance usage for one hour. #RegentProperties #RegentPM #EarthDay #SustainablePractices

How can we take #reuse and #repair mainstream? 😎 That was the question that Bryson Recycling came to us with as it looked at whether it made sense to establish a large-scale reuse park in North Wales. Our research shone a light on the possibilities and opportunities available to them, which will help Bryson Recycling support the #BeyondRecycling commitments in Wales and help the local authorities they serve to significantly increase the scale of reuse in the region. You can read more about this (and our other work) in our 2023-24 #impactreport (link in comments below).
