5 Areas of Environmental Activities

Waste Reduction:By its very nature Ormita is a waste reducing and highly efficient means of conducting business in an environmentally responsible manner.

A Green Supply Chain:Ormita works closely with partners who are committed to environmentally sound business practices and picks suppliers based not only on price, but on their commitment to responsible use of technology and recycled materials.

Compliance:Ormita acts responsibly to manage all aspects of our business to ensure environmental laws and recognized standards are met or exceeded. We also actively monitor compliance of our licensees within our own strict policies, procedures, and standards.

Education:We aim to raise awareness of environmental issues and more sustainable choices for business.

Our Practices:Through the use of good business practices and smart electronic tools we aim to keep our environmental footprint to an absolute minimum.

Helping You Meet Your Environmental Commitments

Abiotic Resource Depletion:The depletion of non-renewable, non-living resources such as coal, steal and other metals.Ormita promotes effective chain management, optimal use of primary raw materials and minimizes environmental effects of raw material extraction through extending the lifespan of previously surplus goods.

Acidification:Contaminates the air and water with chemical compounds that either develop acids or deposit metals causing damage to trees and water as well as the degradation of metals, limestone and concrete and is primarily caused by the burning of fossil fuels for transportation and production.The inefficient use of resources can be a serious stumbling block to achieving environmental goals. Ormita is one more step towards solving this problem.

Eutrophication:The loss of plants and animals in aquatic ecosystems due to oxygen depletion following blooms of algae, stimulated by high nutrient concentrations. When costs are on the rise the last thing we tend to think about is the environment. Using Ormita lets you earn additional revenue and be a responsible steward of the environment.

Global Warming:The rising of global temperatures due to emissions of green-house gas as well as other environmental changes. Ormita brings your customers and your suppliers closer to home while saving you money.

Toxic emissions:Pollutants that are known or suspected to cause cancer and other serious health effects. Examples include benzene, found in gasoline; perchlorethlyene (found in some dry cleaning), methylene chloride (used as a paint solvent by some industries), dioxin, asbestos, mercury, cadmium, chromium and lead.Ormita will help you set environmental goals which you can fund out of cash savings achieved through our commerce network.

Waste:Unwanted, surplus or undesired materials or substances are a major cause of environmental pollution and are a serious issue for many large businesses. Ormita provides an effective way to recycle your end-of-line, improperly packaged, unused or surplus assets in a way which lets you receive full market value for them.
