Per the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
Sustainability is based on a simple principle: everything that we need for our survival and well-being depends, either directly or indirectly, on our natural environment. Sustainability creates and maintains the conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, that permit fulfilling the social, economic and other requirements of present and future generations. Sustainability is important to making sure that we have and will continue to have, the water, materials, and resources to protect human health and our environment.
We reuse available materials to fix equipment and also purchase equipment which can be used for different types of tree care jobs.
Debris is used to create wood and finer mulch for soil amendments and composting. 90% of tree debris is recycled with the remaining 10% sold as a soil amendment.
When we help preserve your tree, it also helps keep an active receptacle for stored carbon, an important function in controlling atmospheric balance.
Besides helping trees we also have tackled some of the problems many business have in becoming more sustainable. Since the beginning, ArborScape has tried to make sure chippers and trucks aren’t run excessively when on site. We re-use available materials to fix equipment and also purchase equipment which can be used for different types of tree care jobs. This reduces our footprint.
In 2018 we became more ambitious acquiring hybrid vehicles to cut gas consumption. That larger investment has been successful for smaller vehicles. However, we’re still frustrated by the lack of available bucket and dump trucks in the hybrid category but hope to invest in solutions that work for the landscape industry.
Remember ArborScape during the holiday season to have your Christmas tree recycled!
