The Environmental Impact of Commercial Transportation and What Handy Rentals is Doing to Reduce Our Carbon Footprint

04 April 2023

Commercial transportation is a vital aspect of our economy, but it also has a significant impact on the environment. The transportation industry contributes to air pollution, water pollution, and climate change. As a responsible business, Handy Rentals is committed to reducing our carbon footprint and doing our part to help protect the planet.

One of the things we are doing to reduce our environmental impact is phasing out single-use cardboard boxes. These boxes are a significant source of waste and can take up valuable space in landfills. We are implementing reusable moving crates instead, which not only reduces waste but also provides better protection for our customers’ belongings during transit.

We are also making a conscious effort to purchase modern trucks and vans with less emissions. Our newer vehicles have more efficient engines and are equipped with advanced emission control technologies. This not only reduces our carbon footprint but also saves on fuel costs, which we can then pass on to our customers.

In addition to these efforts, we have also implemented a regular maintenance schedule for all our vehicles. Proper maintenance ensures that our fleet runs efficiently, reducing the amount of harmful emissions released into the environment.

At Handy Rentals, we believe that we all have a responsibility to protect the environment. That’s why we are taking active steps to reduce our carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the planet. We are committed to continually looking for ways to improve our practices and make a difference in the transportation industry.
