First off, consider reducing, reusing, and recycling in your business operations. Make recycling easy and encourage your team to find ways to reuse items. This not only conserves resources but can also save you money in the long run.

Think about ways to minimize waste within your business. Whether it’s excess packaging or other materials, reducing waste is a win-win for the environment and your bottom line.

When selecting suppliers and products, choose those committed to sustainable and ethical sourcing of minerals. Responsible mining practices can go a long way in preserving our planet’s resources.

If you have control over product design, consider creating items that use fewer minerals, or design products that are easy to recycle or reuse. This can set you apart and attract customers who value sustainability.

Take the opportunity to educate your employees and customers. Share information and use posters to raise awareness about mineral conservation and the impact of mineral depletion.

Collaborating with local environmental organizations can be a great way to get involved in events and initiatives focused on mineral conservation. It’s a chance to learn and contribute to a sustainable future.

Lastly, stay open to innovation. Explore alternative materials that are more sustainable and have a lower environmental impact. Embracing different technologies and practices can set your business on a path towards a greener future.

Chlorine, Phosphorus, Silicon and Iodine are just a few of the minerals used within your cleaning products. Although these minerals are not scarce, they are non-renewable and the mining process is never good for the environment.

Why not make your own DIY cleaning products which typically contain three or less natural ingredients? They get the job done just as effectively with just a handful of safe, food-grade ingredients.

Here’s a simple recipe to start with:

For mild cleaning, mix 1/2 cup vinegar, 1/4 cup baking soda, and 4 to 8 cups hot water in a spray bottle. You can substitute 2 teaspoons of borax for the baking soda. Add a few drops of essential oil to any mixture to give it a fresh scent.
