Key Steps: Creating Green Teams in Your Facility
Step 6:
Developing an Action Plan
Once you have identified opportunities for improvement and prioritized your efforts, an action plan should be developed that includes specific policies and procedures for at least the immediate projects. This action plan will be essential to move your environmental efforts forward.
In your action plan, outline any changes in infrastructure that are required. For example, if a recycling program is being adopted, then you will need to provide recycling bins near printers, with trash cans located farther away. Do you have the right equipment and enough room to increase your recycling types and volumes? Do you have storage space that can be transformed into a company store to encourage reuse of office supplies, furniture, electronics, and batteries?
Include a list of administrative needs, such as Request For Proposal (RFP) and contract language for recycling vendors, Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) vendors, or energy auditors. Include pollution prevention program tasks in job descriptions as needed.
