MILNER can provide our clients with a complete assessment on carbon footprint.  We will measure power output by device, paper consumption, recycling programs for equipment and toner.  We also provide consulting on ways to cut back on your carbon footprint and find ways to reduce costs.  In addition to looking at equipment we can look at ways of reducing paper output through innovative software solutions.

Under the Managed Print Services from MILNER we can provide you with a GREEN assessment of your office environment.  We can not only help with creating a more environmentally friendly office environment but also put more GREEN in your pocket.

MILNER Environmental Solutions is committed to implementing the most advanced environmentally responsible solutions for the recycling of empty inkjet cartridges, laser toner cartridges and cell phones.  Partnering with CORE offers professional recycling programs that are proactive in addressing key customer concerns:

Risk management – Our NO LANDFILL policy eliminates potential environmental risks for customers who require proper disposal for all collected cartridges.

Corporate policy – most customers have the need to align with a recycling organization focused on preventing and reducing the build-up of waste in our nation’s landfills and those across the world.

Recycling done in North America – All printer cartridges and cell phones returned to MILNER collection centers stay in North America and are recycled in North America.

Active environmental involvement – MILNER maintains an active role in the National Recycling Coalition and through its membership in the Illinois Recycling Association.

Empty inkjet cartridges, laser toner cartridges and cell phones are returned to one of MILNER’s three North American Recycling Centers for sorting and grading.

All qualified cartridges are reused within the remanufacturing process to produce inkjet and laser toner cartridges which significantly reduce the need for using additional natural resources.

Cartridges that cannot be remanufactured due to damage, defect, or having been previously remanufactured, are completely disassembled to the base components are handled as follows by the CORE Waste Recycling Facility:

Plastics – Wiper blades, scrap inkjet cartridges are provided to recyclers for melting down and forming park benches, garbage cans and other items.

Aluminum – The OPC drums are collected from each cartridge and sold to aluminum scrap recyclers.

Corrugated – All corrugated packaging is compressed into baler machines, located on-site and the tightly compressed bales are picked up by corrugated recyclers.

Steel – The metal pieces, such as screws, pins, blades and magnetic rollers are made available to scrap metal recyclers.

Polystyrene – To further support MILNER’s NO LANDFILL policy, grinding machinery has been installed in the Waste Recycling Facility to grind the hard shell polystyrene scrap cartridges into ground material that can be reused within the injection molding manufacturing process.

If you have a printer in your organization that prints 10,000 pages per month and the printer you have uses a cartridge that only yields 1,000 pages, you will use 10 cartridges per month for that printer.  What if you could replace that printer with one that has a cartridge that yields 10,000 pages?  What impact would that have on the environment?

1. Are many different printer makes and models in use throughout the enterprise?
2. Are different devices used for printing, faxing, copying and scanning?
3. Are many devices outdated, i.e., more than five years old?
4. Are documents typically printed on only one side of a sheet of paper?
5. Do people tend to print documents and then retrieve them later?
6. Do devices remain on at night and on weekends?
7. Do you manage print settings individually for each device?
8. Are recycling of paper, print cartridges and old equipment inconsistently managed?
9. Are devices unmanaged, preventing you from tracking physical location and determining who has access?

If you answered no to these questions, congratulations. You are well on your way to a green printing and

imaging environment. If you answered yes to one or more questions, consider each a potential area to focus

your efforts. While these actions may have limited impact individually, collectively they represent a broad

opportunity to reduce the environmental impacts of printing.

The GREENGUARD Environmental Institute is an industry-independent, not-for-profit organization whose mission is to protect human health by improving indoor air quality and reducing our exposure to chemicals.

Did you know that many of the products we encounter every day—from our furniture and electronics to our drywall and floor tiles—emit thousands of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other pollutants into the air?  It’s true. And studies have shown that VOCs can cause or exacerbate a multitude of health problems, including upper respiratory complications, asthma, developmental disorders, and possibly even cancer. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air is two to five times more polluted than the air outside.

The health risk to children is even greater, as children breathe in more air than adults relative to their body size.  And because they’re shorter than adults, children are more prone to inhaling airborne pollutants, which suspend closer to ground level.

To combat these threats to human health and ensure cleaner, healthier air, the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute certifies products for low chemical emissions.  The GREENGUARD Indoor Air Quality® Certification Program and the GREENGUARD Children & Schools℠ Certification Program both require products to undergo rigorous scientific testing and meet some of the most stringent chemical emissions standards in the world.  Consequently, manufacturers wishing to earn GREENGUARD Certification for their products must often work tirelessly to modify their products’ chemical composition, supply chain, and/or production process—a voluntary commitment that underscores the manufacturers’ commitment to health and sustainability.  Once certified, all products must undergo routine follow-up testing to maintain their certification.Headquartered in Atlanta, Ga., the GREENGUARD Environmental Institute was founded in 2001 by world-renowned health scientist and indoor air quality research pioneer Dr. Marilyn Black.   The Institute works closely with leading organizations and influencers in the green building, design, and health spaces to ensure that indoor air quality issues are recognized and addressed.  GREENGUARD Certification programs are referenced in several leading sustainable building codes, standards, and specifications, including the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Green Building Rating System; the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) Best Practices Manual; GreenGlobes; and ASHRAE 189.1.

A healthier ‘no-suds’ way to do laundry

Without hot water and with little or no detergent, LaundryPure puts the technology of nature to work in the laundry room at home. Based on processes used for over a decade in hospitals, hotels, and Laundromats, cold water is infused with oxygen, peroxides, and other gases to bubble and lift dirt and grime from cloth fibers, leaving towels softer and fluffier, and clothes brighter and cleaner.

Plus, every load helps save energy and money. Reducing or eliminating detergent means less residue and abrasives to weigh down and wear out fabrics, and of course, less detergent to buy. Washing in cold water only reduces the weekly demand on the household water heater.

Finally, LaundryPure incorporates the power of ActivePure with the odor and contaminant reducing action of silver ions to help an amazingly effective cold water laundry system for residential use.

Clean, basic water the way it should be.

Drinking enough water isn’t really enough. You have to drink the right kind of water – water that will help buffer acid, help remove toxins, and is easily absorbed by your body. You need great tasting water with antioxidant properties and proper pH levels.
