- Started in 2008 : Education and practical application in the workplace. What we have done so far: Survey of member companies and what their current policies are. Presentations at annual meetings of developments and practices. Ongoing investigations into more sustainable business methods. Future plans: Identifying material suppliers with progressive attitudes and environmental methodologies. Reporting and updates on advancements in warehouse and transportation equipment with lower energy requirements and less impact on environment.

- Education: Educate ourselves as to what are the most environmentally sound business practices for our industry.Education to include smart environmental practices that address the entire lifecycle of products as well as smart recycling practices. How: Independent research by committee members and sharing this at monthly teleconferences. Once the committee has gathered enough baseline information on the subject to educate ICEFAT member companies in this area. Progress Surveys:Complete surveys of ICEFAT companies to assess current status and to obtain new ideas. This will allow us to also gauge further progress. Environmental Guidelines: Develop Environmental Guidelines for ICEFAT companies. This would be a living document that could be modified at any time Marketing:Promote ICEFAT as a Green organization that is working towards environmental sustainability. Effect Change: Use the education and experience learned from the ICEFAT green project to educate the greater arts and museum community. Use the cooperative and sizeable power of ICEFAT and the arts community to in what products are used in our industry and come up with possible alternatives. Not just one person. The threee of us in a room add you 400 + 400000 that’s motivating!
- Our goal is the following: Taking care of the whole world in order to take care of a cultural artifact. We begin by making sure the materials used to protect that fragile object do not degrade the environment. Our profession is charged with the care and custody of cultural artifacts. In the present world taking care of an object for future generations must include taking care of the environment, so there will be future generations. Green Statement: Our profession is charged with the care and custody of cultural artifacts . In the present world taking care of an object for future generations must include taking care of the environment, so there will be future generations. The present rate at which at which we are consuming resources is badly damaging our planet. It is not sustainable. We need to rethink how we are doing business, to shrink individual and business footprint. We not only need to reduce, reuse and recycle, but redesign and rethink how we are doing things and what we are using. We must expand our scope, and look beyond the microcosm to the macrocosm. A Quote from William McDonough, Architect “ Sustainability should mean meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations of all living things to meet their own needs” The goal being the following: Taking care of the whole world in order to take care of a cultural artifact. We begin by making sure the materials used to protect that fragile object do not degrade the environment. Our profession is charged with the care and custody of cultural artifacts. In the present world taking care of an object for future generations must include taking care of the environment, so there will be future
- Put bios here short and sweet
- We at ICEFAT have realized it’s not enough to publish doctrine at the workplace. We encourage our colleagues to reflect on environmental practices at their homes as well.

- Some Recent Case Studies from General WH Operations around the World NYC-based Fine Arts Warehouse installs Water Chiller Technology to reduce electricity and operating costs UK-based Warehouse operation replaced conventional refrigerant-based Air Conditioning system with Evaporative Cooling, reducing related power consumption by 85% New Jersey, US based 100k SF Warehouse installed Photovoltaic Cells on roof, reducing annual electricity usage by 5% and CO2 emissions by over 6,000 tonnes French new-construction 7,000 SM warehouse facility used Geothermal heating and cooling technology, saving 8,000 Euros annually and reducing CO2 emission by 200 kg-tons/yr.
- Currently 81% of ICEFAT companies are not using any renewable energy to power their warehouses or offices. 5% use solar power, 2% use wind power, and 15% has a portion of their energy coming from renewable resources through their local energy provider.

- Here are some of the ways we are currently able to contribute to cleaner air: Shuttle transport, also known as groupage or part-load (include ICEFAT company website screen shots of shuttle routes) Diesel trucks with exhaust super heating and re-capture or re-generation Bio-diesel (hotly contested) Hybrid and electric vehicles Several agents have invested in alternative fuels such as biogas and liquid petroleum as a means to test these alternatives Oxford and MTAB any others? Courier shipments reducing the quantity Newer trucks in fleets Eco-Driving training for drivers Monitoring of exhaust emissions from trucks (US)
- Pros Biodiesel is a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources such as plant oils, animal fats, used cooking oil and even new sources such as algae. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, and burns 60-70% cleaner than petroleum based diesel. Biodiesel blends can be used in most compression-ignition (diesel) engines with little or no modifications. B100 is pure vegetable oil B20 is 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel
- In order to minimize depletion of natural resources we are currently engaged in some of the following steps which are easily adopted: Identifying material suppliers exercising positive environmental practices Paper and wood recycling such as biomass gassification and incineration – steam capture systems Re-usable travel case and crate recycling programs Changes in the painting of crates, it makes it harder to recycle Identifying waste cartage companies with zero impact on landfills Buy a crate plant a tree programs
- Discuss that this is from our survey and shows that efforts are already in place. But it is always good to ask your shipper if they have a program in place.
- Only 42% of ICEFAT companies are using green or low VOC paints and varnishes in their shops. 59% are not.
- Talking about low voc painting of crates, How hard is it to recycle a painted crate Different types of foams and glues to make things easier to repack Are the material used environmentally friendly
- National Gallery of London: Using a specific reusable crate system for over 20 years. 90% of crates in use are retrofitted used/rental crates. Crate supplier to the National Gallery: On hand stock of 600-700 crates available for use. Their business model is to not build new crates but refit the existing stock over and over.
