Environmental Commitment

At New System we know that the Earth’s resources cannot keep up with the demands that are being placed upon it. In an effort to protect our environment and preserve resources for generations to come, we have embarked upon a company-wide effort to not only re-use our products but the water it takes to process those goods.

Our business is green at its base: the vast majority of the products we rent to our customers are re-used many times over, greatly reducing the amount of refuse that goes into landfills and reducing the volume of materials that must be manufactured and shipped.

Since our business is a very heavy user of water, we recycle and reuse as much water—and the heat stored within—as possible. Then, we clean the water and discharge it into the city sewer system, verified by rigorous monthly testing to meet city and state standards.

We also work to minimize paper use by offering daily reports and invoices online, and by emailing monthly statements to customers, allowing them to view online and print only when necessary.

Measures such as these which save resources are not just good for business, they are good for everyone.

Some other specific measures we take to reduce our burden on the environment include:

• Recycling of plastic film
• Recycling of cardboard and paper
• Use of recycled paper
• Recovery of heat from waste stream to pre-heat water
• Recovery of steam condensate to pre-heat water
• Reuse of water. Clean rinses are used on front-end dirty rinses
• Upgrading of delivery fleet to more fuel-efficient diesel vehicles
• Emailing of statements instead of printing on paper
• Recycling of hangers (also provides jobs for people with disabilities and disadvantages)
• Treatment of discharge water for ph levels
• Monthly analysis of chemical usage to prevent waste
• Use of high-efficiency boiler and dryer(s)
