Phase 2: Purify Your Offerings

It is important to acknowledge that every product begins as a raw material, undergoes many steps of processing, travels thousands of miles as it is distributed to and from the consumer, and ultimately ends up in a landfill or an incinerator. Throughout each of these steps there is great deal of inefficiency, providing endless opportunities to save operating costs and minimize your environmental footprint.

A company can Purify its Offerings by making informed decisions each step of the way. Finding an improved material source, optimizing industrial processing, working with local factories, and planning for a product's incineration are all examples of a lower waste, high efficiency life-cycle.

During the first stage of our design process, opportunities to Purify Your Offerings will be identified. During later stages, solutions will be proposed that turn these opportunities into cost savings for your company.
