LED Conversion
-
Scott Pet is in the process of changing over all lightbulbs to long-lasting, durable LED bulbs.
-
LED bulbs produce 3.4 btu's/hour compared to 85 for incandescent bulbs.
-
LED bulbs use 1/3 to 1/30th of the electricity of incandescent bulbs and do not emit heat when in use.
-
LED bulbs last 25 times longer than regular lightbulbs which also assists in reducing waste over time.
Scheduling Efficiency
Operating a 4-day week minimizes our carbon footprint by: limiting the use of fuel and vehicle emissions our employees use as well as reducing overall energy usage at the facility.
Transportation

-
Advise waiting trucks to shut off engines reducing emissions.
Shipping Efficiency

Rechargable Batteries
Our fork trucks and communication devices operate on rechargeable batteries. This eliminates the use of all propane and greatly reduces the number of batteries that are purchased. The rechargeable batteries are recycled at the end of their use.
