Reduce excessive CO2 emissions in business by switching to renewable energy sources.
Black Friday brings a lot of excitement for so many people however the reality shows that there is a major climate drawback that comes with it, hurting the planet with our buyer attitudes.
During this period 429,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions were emitted last year. The overall carbon footprint calculation of one product needs to include the emission generated from the first raw material through the entire manufacturing process. In addition to this, the returned shipments of products not wanted must be included, and in this case, the rate is higher than average compared to other periods.
The trend of carbon emission has been reduced in the previous years because of the effect at an economic level of coronavirus. However, as a society, we have the responsibility to keep decreasing these figures.
At a company level, there are established and regulated procedures and protocols for the industry that can be implemented in order to reduce carbon emissions considerably.
Switching to more renewable energy sources has a positive impact. Alternatives and greener energy sources together with energy storage systems at large scale are helping current businesses considerably to decrease carbon emissions as well as the energy costs of a business.
