We can all contribute to environmental protection.  From turning the lights off when you leave a room at home or turning the lights off at the office at night and on the weekends (What an enormous waste of energy!).   Also, we can all reduce our water consumption and waste at home and the office.
  • Did you know that the combined annual energy costs for US commercial buildings and industrial facilities is $202.3 billion??
  • Did you know that about thirty percent of the energy used in buildings is done so inefficiently?
  • The nation's wastewater plants and drinking water systems spend about $4 billion per year on energy to treat water. Individually, these operating costs can add up to one-third of a municipality's total energy bill. 
So, what types of steps could we take to improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings?
Many of the things we can do to improve energy efficiency in the office are not that different from some of the steps we take at home. Replacing the bulbs in desk lamps with compact fluorescent lights will also use about 75% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. How about creating a green team among your co-workers to identify additional energy saving methods in the office? Use Bio-Dry waterless concrete cleaner and waterless asphalt conditioner!  :)
In addition to saving energy and being careful about water consumption, reducing waste is another way to make the home and workplace more environmentally friendly. We should all do our part to make a difference.
How have you contributed to a healthier, more environmentally friendly home and office?

You’ve probably heard the word “sustainable” lately and if you know anything about Bio-Dry, you know it is a sustainable product, but what does that mean?

Sustainability is the capacity to endure. In ecology, the word describes how biological systems remain diverse and productive over time. Long-lived and healthy wetlands and forests are examples of sustainable biological systems.  For humans, sustainability is the potential for long-term maintenance of well being, which has environmental, economic, and social dimensions.

Healthy ecosystems and environments provide vital goods and services to humans and other organisms. There are two major ways of reducing negative human impact and enhancing ecosystem services. The first is environmental management; this approach is based largely on information gained from earth science, environmental science, and conservation biology. The second approach is management of human consumption of resources, which is based largely on information gained from economics.

Ways of living more sustainably can take many forms from reorganising living conditions (e.g., ecovillages, eco-municipalities and sustainable cities), reappraising economic sectors (permaculture, green building, sustainable agriculture), or work practices (sustainable architecture), using science to develop new technologies (green technologies, renewable energy), to adjustments in individual lifestyles that conserve natural resources.

Bio-Dry is sustainable because it provides vital goods and services to humans and other organisms.  Because Bio-Dry is a waterless concrete and asphalt cleaner, it reduces the negative human impact and enhances the ecosystem.  Bio-Dry is engineered to clean, protect and condition the surface. Bio-Dry deactivates harmful hydrocarbons through the processes of adsorption, emulsification and bioremediation (more to come on the processes of adsorption and emulsification).   Bio-Dry is easy to apply and it is environment friendly.  Furthermore, Bio-Dry looks better and lasts longer than pressure washing or alternative cleaning methods.  Bio-Dry attacks petroleum based stains and protects concrete from future oil spills.

Although pressure washing has it's place, we believe that pressure washing oil on concrete is NOT the best solution for cleaning.

Here are the top four reasons why you should NOT pressure wash concrete: 

1. Pressure washing uses too much water.

2. Pressure washing damages concrete and over time the concrete will need to be replaced and that is very expensive.

3. Water runoff from pressure washing is ILLEGAL unless it is recaptured.

4. Pressure washing opens concrete pours to immediate recontamination and staining, which leads to having to pressure wash more often.

 

We recommend you clean your oil and grease stains on concrete with BIO-DRY waterless concrete cleaner because Bio-Dry...

 

  • saves you money...

  • keeps you compliant...

  • improves your image!
