Reduce, Re-use and Recycle with Direct Colors Inc.!
Direct Colors, Inc. is leading by example in Shawnee, Oklahoma! We’re encouraging members of the community to bring in their newspapers, shredded paper, boxes and other packing materials for re-use in our business.
As a company with both nationwide and international sales, we send out hundreds of packages each week and use a lot of packing, particular during our spring-summer high season.
“We want to promote reducing and re-using as well as recycling at our company. Of course, we recycle everything we can at our facility – aluminum cans and other metals, office paper, cardboard, and plastic bottles, but we want to emphasize using what you’ve already got. With every newspaper or magazine we re-use, we’re not using brand-new packing materials. Hopefully, our customers will recycle the paper rather throwing it into the trash. Then we’ve really done everything we can to cut back on waste,” says Shawna Turner, General Manager for Direct Colors, Inc.
So the next time you receive a package from Direct Colors with pages from the Shawnee News-Star or The Daily Oklahoman you’ll know why and don’t forget to recycle!
What an excellent way to reduce, reuse, and recycle! Packing materials are not only costly, imagine all the trees it took to create those materials! Not only are they saving on costs by using recycled packing materials, they are helping save hundreds, thousands of trees as well. Plus, they are helping spread the recycling message across to all their package recipients! Thanks!
