Notas do Editor
- Today we hope to show you how to promote your company’s green assets as a way to improve your bottom line. We have discovered that Green marketing is more than good PR. It is also good for business. It makes good financial sense to invest in efforts to promote your business as green. Our overall goal is to give you some some practical advice on how to implement green marketing into your overall marketing strategy.
- Remanufacturing is Green. It has always been green. It is the ultimate form of recycling.*Parts are disassembled, cleaned, repaired or replaced, and then reassembled to working condition. Remanufacturing recaptures the value-added cost of labor, energy and raw materials required to create the same product for consumption. From an environmental standpoint – the cost in resources associated in developing a new product as compared to taking the exact same product and remanufacturing it for consumer consumption is significantly more in terms of the value added to the product calculated by labor, energy and raw materials. *Attributed to : Remanufacturing: The Ultimate Form of Recycling, Rolf Steinhilper, Ph.D., chair for manufacturing and remanufacturing technology at the University of Bayreuth in Germany
- If you are not using resources to make new products, then these resources are available for other use and other generations.Some of these are renewable and some are finiteAdditional notes: Natural Renewable Resourcesare those that can be replenished by natural processes at a rate comparable or faster than its rate of consumption by humans or other users, such as: timber and fresh waterNatural non-renewable resources are those that cannot be re-made, re-grown, or regenerated on a scale comparative to it’s consumption. In other words these are resources that are consumed faster than they can be made by nature: Examples are oil, natural gas, iron, coal, copper, gold, silver, zinc, aluminum
- Developing a product new from virgin materials creates more greenhouse gas emissions and creates more of a carbon footprint than taking an existing product and remanufacturing it for consumer consumption. Remanufacturing reduces energy use, reduces landfill waste and preserves renewable and non-renewable natural resources.
- This claim has been well documented and is based on both the conservation of renewable and non-renewable resources, fuel, manpower and more. Annual energy savings from remanufacturing in the U.S. alone has been estimated to save up to 16 million barrels of crude oil - which equals the consumption of 75,000 car owners. Sources:Bullet One – (Lund, Robert T. 1996, The Remanufacturing Industry, Hidden Giant, Boston, MA)Bullet Two - ( Remanufacturing Is Profitable and Green by Don Hegland,February 24, 2010)
- 14 million tons of raw material is enough material to fill 155,000 railroad cars to form a train 1,100 miles long. Remanufacturing is big business – with approximately $53 billion annual sales. Collectively, our industry employs close to 500,000 people annually. The automotive remanufacture industry alone is estimated to be $25 billion a year. We have a story to tell – remanufacturing is good for the economy and good for the environment.
- That was the sentiment in 2008. How has the world changed since then?
- Companies are racing to the top to be green – Dell, IBM, Hewlett Packard – almost every company with a public face wants to be green. The answer is clear – Green is the new Black. Consumers want to support companies that have an interest in sustainability, care about climate change, landfill minimization and preservation of our resources. So, is there a downside to being Green?
- To market your business as “Green” first you need to make sure that your business, if scrutinized by the public, would be considered Green.To be green requires that you take proactive steps to be green and that provides you the opportunity to promote your company as green.
- Greenwashing is the dreaded word. Before you make efforts to implement a green marketing strategy – examine your company’s practices from the perspective of a “green” focused consumer.
- Be an inspiration to your employees, your industry and community. Do an inventory at your company.
- Look at every operation in your company
- So what is involved with a green marketing strategy. Look at your existing and potentially new marketing efforts through a green prism. How can these marketing materials be developed to promote your industry – remanufacturing - and your business as green? Promote your green assets so new and existing customers can feel good about doing business with your company!Begin with your website. A simple statement about your company’s core values of being green is a start.
- Community Outreach Generates good Publicity and Positive Press. Do not count on others involved to promote you. It takes a calculated effort to be green and to promote your business as green. It takes time to determine what is in the community that is a good fit and how you can devote your company’s resources to participate without being wasteful. Someone in your marketing department should head up this effort, and it may require soliciting help from professionals.
- If you are green or sell green products, then tell the world. Include your green message in ALL marketing!
- Be an example to your employees, customers, media and the community.
- Calculate in terms people can understand how your product is helping the environment. Carbon footprint calculators are excellent to add to your site. Build relationships with your customers with your green story.
- Remember—PR is FREE and the media wants stories…they all have cut back on their staff, so the opportunity is to provide them with information about how environmentally concerned you are about the products you make.
- Use the digital world to get across your message!
