Sustainability & Enviromental Conservation

WE ARE A GREEN ADVERTISING AGENCY. WE USE SPACE THAT ALREADY EXISTS WITH MINIMAL CARBON FOOTPRINT!

“What pops into minds when people read the word sustainability? Do images of tree huggers and blue boxes pop up?

Sustainability is more than recycling. It’s about using resources wisely and conscientiously to create a business that will thrive for generations, to be responsible in our consumption, and to encourage others to make less wasteful choices.

Every aspect of our operations adheres to sustainability best practices. Perhaps this is why Big Rig Wraps was nominated again as a sustainability champion for the upcoming business excellence awards.

You see, we place advertising on space that already exists (transport trucks). The additional funds we generate for fleet partners make it possible for them to adopt green processes, including the re-use of materials and efficient fuel and energy management.

These initiatives have extended equipment lifetime by an estimated 80 hours per truck each year. That means less equipment heads to landfills every year.

BIG RIG WRAPS SUSTAINABILITY BLUEPRINT CREATES BIG IMPACTS

In a few short years, efforts and initiatives at Big Rig Wraps have prompted:

multiple fleet companies in Canada and the U.S. to stay in operation.
many fleet companies to access government incentive plans to upgrade equipment and transport trucks. (note: most government incentives require a significant owner investment or matching funds. With new equipment regulations and the increasing costs of fuel, many operators didn’t have the disposable cash…until Big Rig Wraps).
fleet expansion.
upgrading equipment to reduce fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. At minimum, 500lbs of CO2 is released per truck per year and that means at least a 4 per cent fuel savings per truck per year. Some studies show a fuel savings of more than $2,600 per year per truck.
increasing maintenance and the installation of eco-friendly equipment, which reduces landfill items by minimizing strain on engines and other parts by an estimated 80 hours per truck/year.
each fleet partner adopts a zero-waste policy and follow the 3Rs.
reducing the use of paper by 90 per cent and minimizing use of plastics, energy, and water at all three Big Rig Wraps locations.
