BT Environment

The implementation of a Green Program at Body Torque has and continues to greatly benefit both the staff and the environment.  We are committed to the environment.The introduction of program has reduced our waste stream, it has the potential to save our company money and potential generated revenue from recyclables.

This reduction potentially helps conserve valuable natural resources, reduce pollution and save energy.
Our recycling helps prolong the life of materials by reprocessing them into a new material/product rather than land filling them.
At Body Torque we have a nominated Green Team, who implement the Body Torque Green Program, monitor and evaluate on a monthly basis and report back to all staff in our regular staff meetings.Some of the things we do to as part of our Green Program are:

1. Keep mailing lists current to avoid duplicate mailings

• Use e-mail, voice-mail and bulletin boards to circulate company-wide messages and information
• Save information and documents electronically rather than printing out a hard copy, where possible.
• Proof documents on your computer before printing them or in lieu of printing them for proofing
• For items you use less often, order only what you need - avoid excess!
• Use ceramic coffee cups, utensils and plates in your kitchen or lunchroom
• We have established regular maintenance check-ups for frequently used pieces of equipment to extend their life (copiers, fax machines, computers, etc...)
• Use less toxic products for cleaning, inks and paints
• Use products that are more durable, higher quality, recyclable or reusable 
• We use double-sided copies instead of single-sided for copiers and printers
• Make note pads from spare/used paper/outdated letterhead

• Reuse envelopes or use two-way envelopes
• Reuse cardboard boxes for shipping materials
• Donate unused books, magazines, journals, etc... to local organizations, literacy programs, hospitals, schools, etc...
• Reuse newspaper and shredding as packaging/shipping material
• Reuse foam packing peanuts, "bubblewrap", and other packing materials
• When changing furniture or equipment we sell or give to employees or charities
• Consider using a material orwaste exchange for large quantities of reusable materials
• We have also set up an area where Body Torque employees share and exchange items they no longer need
• When purchasing items, we consider those that we know we can recycle or that include the most recycled content.
