The Future is Green — and Your Team Needs to Be Ready
From LEED-certified projects to eco-conscious contractors, sustainability in building materials is no longer optional. But it’s not just about selling the right products—your staff must know how to store, handle, and track them properly.
Why Sustainability Training Matters in Warehousing
Poor handling can degrade recycled or eco-sensitive products
Incorrect labeling can break LEED chains of custody
Over-ordering leads to waste and higher carbon footprints
Sustainability Concepts Staff Should Understand
Embodied Carbon: How much carbon is in the product from sourcing to delivery
Green Certifications: LEED, WELL, Cradle to Cradle
Proper Disposal/Recycling: For damaged or expired eco products
Energy Efficiency in Warehousing: LED lighting, optimized heating, solar panels
