The Bopteq Inc. is committed to protecting the environment and complying with all applicable environmental laws and regulations, as well as incorporating efficiency improvements when possible. We attempt to reduce, reuse or recycle waste products, including corrugated cardboard (used mainly as packing materials), plastics and scrap metal. Our facilities monitor energy and water usage, with several efforts underway to reduce consumption. We are constantly exploring ways to improve our environmental conservation efforts. A recent example is in many of our stores we offer attractive, reusable shopping bags for a nominal charge, giving customers who prefer not to use plastic bags, a choice.
Bopteq believes in using measurable environmental conservation targets for energy, waste and water to monitor year-over-year performance. Our Energy Management Department is charged with implementing and monitoring conservation/efficiency strategies and best practices. Our Transportation and Logistics Department spearheads numerous initiatives to reduce fuel consumption and transportation costs through more efficient processes, including improving trailer loading methods and reducing the number of trucks needed to transport goods. Our distribution centers conserve energy, and reduce, reuse and recycle waste including corrugated cardboard, plastic and scrap metal.
Bopteq is not a significant consumer of water, since we do not own manufacturing operations, but we believe reducing our usage is both consistent with our low-cost operating philosophy, and is the right thing to do. For instance, we use time-sensor technology in many of our restrooms, and in the China. work is underway to monitor and remedy excessive consumption at stores.
