Our Practices
JSM Airport Services Go Green
Explore our sustainability efforts, minimizing single-use items, training staff in green practices, and embracing eco-friendly solutions.
Refuse
Avoid making unnecessary
purchases of single-use items
- Discontinued the purchase of single-use coffee cups. Our team members were using 1-2 cups daily for tea/coffee, leading to unnecessary material waste.
- Maintain open communication with vendors for accurate lead time estimates, optimizing stock levels to prevent overspending.
- Keeping a well-organized software up to date to avoid poor inventory tracking and ordering mistakes.
Reduce
Limit the number of
materials that are used
- Reduced our plastic container usage by switching from individual oil gallon containers to metal drums.
- Swapping to the metal drum container has reduced our cost of oil -$3 per gallon, reduced plastic container usage and ensured an environmentally friendly disposal of used oil every year.
- Stocking universal components that can be used for different products, reducing waste and inventory size
- Going paperless in many operations
Reuse
Use items more
than once
- To eliminate single use spray bottle cleaning containers. We have upgraded to 1-gallon “Simple Green” jugs that use to fill reusable plastic spray bottles.
- This process eliminates unnecessary plastics from the 24oz single use units and allows us to have additional cost cutting measures per oz.
- Reuse packing materials and supplies to reduce waste
- Buying office supplies in bulk, reducing the need for excess packing materials
Recycle
Choose to purchase and collect
items that are recyclable
- Provided recycle bins for metal, belting and cardboard. Since the recycle process has started, we have scrapped roughly 3-5 tons on material.
- This process has created a safer/cleaner work environment, improved customer satisfaction and helped environmental management cost by crediting our customer for their recycle material.
- Battery recycle program that recovers used batteries
- Recycling oil and hydraulic waste to cut down on greenhouse gas and heavy metal emissions.
Restore
Repair items to a
functional state
- Pepurposed cotton clothing to clean our conveyors. Initially we were using paper shop towels costing the company $3000/year.
- Upgraded to 50-pound reclaimed material costing us $37.50/quarter has reduced costs and environment waste.
- Organize parts, components, and tools so mechanics have everything needed to rebuild parts up to manufacturer standards
- Parts department that inputs data into management software and ensures rebuilds are up to appropriate standards
