These days, businesses of all types are actively seeking out ways to become more environmentally friendly. Not only is poor waste and power management detrimental to the planet, but it also hurts a company’s image. In order to preserve the Earth as well as the reputation of your business, it’s important to be proactive in seeking out viable solutions.

In the large vehicle washing industry – an industry that relies on resources like water and power – this is especially true. People are going to take notice when you’re using large amounts of precious resources, especially when there are eco-friendly car wash alternatives readily available. That’s why running an environmentally friendly car wash is so important.

N/S Corporation Provides Cost-Effective Solutions

Since we were founded in 1961, N/S Corporation has been a trusted name in the transit wash sector. As industry leaders, we believe that it’s our responsibility to provide new and innovative vehicle wash systems that minimize waste and reduce overhead costs for the business owners we service. We also work hard to reduce chemical usage so that you and your customers can feel good about washing your vehicles. Let’s take a look at some ways that you can make your dream of operating an environmentally friendly car wash a reality.

1. Use Bubbles Instead of Traditional Foamers

Many of today’s successful eco-friendly washes have switched over to bubbles instead of traditional foamers, and they don’t look back. Bubbles are a superior format for delivering chemicals because they cover far more surface area. Foam needs to be circulated and pushed with a friction material, much like shaving. Bubbles naturally flow across the surface of the vehicle, coating it much more efficiently. To put it simply, bubbles spread and foams stick.

Bubbles Are More Fun

This revolutionary chemical delivery system is beautiful in its simplicity, but your goal of running an environmentally friendly car wash isn’t the only reason to switch over to bubbles – they’re also a whole lot of fun. Improve customer loyalty by providing an unforgettable experience every time. Perfect for themed vehicle washes, our unique Bubblizer delivers chemical in bubble form, while also providing a dazzling light show. Entertain your customers with multicolor displays that turn your bubbles into lava, honey, slime, and so much more.

Reduce Spending and Improve Your Bottom Line

Bubbles allow you to provide the same level of quality while using less power, water, and chemical. From a financial standpoint, switching over is a no-brainer. Besides doing your part to save the planet, running an eco-friendly car wash can be an excellent way to save some serious money. If you’re tired of paying more than you need to, give us a call and we’ll be happy to tell you all about our awesome bubble delivery systems.

2. Use Modern Equipment

While upgrading your outdated equipment may seem like a major expense, the fact is that you’re losing money every wash. It’s important to think about the long-term success of your business, and there are quite a few ways that upgrading to current industry standards can save you a substantial amount of money in the long run. Efficiency and waste reduction weren’t as critical in the past, and now it’s time to transition overt to today’s revolutionary vehicle wash systems.

N/S Corporation Products for Waste Reduction

We’re known for our innovative car and transit wash systems, and we’ve been trusted by informed fleet owners and transit authorities since 1961. Our Bubblizer lets you use less chemical and improve vehicle coverage. We also offer the ECO-10 ten-brush system that uses significantly less power than comparable systems, while still providing the quality of wash that made N/S Corporation noteworthy. The ECO-10 is a green car wash machine that will provide years of outstanding service for your eco-friendly car wash.

3. Go Green in the Office

While your car wash equipment is a major factor as far as wasted resources, there are others to consider too. You should also take a close look at your office operations. For example, whenever possible, try to go paperless. Use post-consumer waste (PCW) paper products and packaging whenever a paperless option isn’t available. Switch over to biodegradable products, and transition over to a more environmentally friendly lighting option such as LEDs or CFLS.

If you’re truly committed to running an environmentally friendly car wash, you may want to go a step further and look into alternative energy sources. While going off the grid with solar power is one of the best ways to reduce power consumption, it’s not always a feasible option. In some parts of the country, you can sign up to purchase “green power” from renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, geothermal, hydropower, and plant matter.

5. Be Aware of Your Company’s Effect on the Planet

One of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint is to simply be conscientious. If you genuinely want to turn into a more environmentally friendly car wash, it will happen naturally over time. Pay attention to your daily operations, always be looking for new ways to improve efficiency. Just by approaching your business with this mindset, you’ll start to notice new ways to improve how things run.

For example, you could experiment with using less water or less chemical – or both. Or, you could replace your blowers with a system that uses less HP. If you’re able to get the same results, why not save some money while saving the planet? There are always going to be new, emerging technologies to help you go green, so try to stay aware of your options, and implement new strategies whenever you can.

6. Recycle

Recycling is one of the easiest and most effective ways to make your eco-friendly car wash more sustainable. Naturally, the first thought that comes to mind is throwing cans and bottles in the proper receptacle, but there are outside-the-box solutions out there too, including products and systems that allow you to reuse water instead of letting it go to waste after just one wash.

Little details may seem inconsequential, but adopting positive habits will really make a difference over time. For example, you could save shipping boxes and reuse them instead of buying new boxes. You could repurpose used furniture or office supplies instead of buying new products. Whenever you’re about to throw something away, ask yourself if it could be used again. You may end up surprised by how often you can. Instead of just using it again that one time, make it a company policy. Try to keep that forward momentum going and the change will happen organically.

7. Use Safer Chemicals

While it may not be possible to stop using chemical solutions entirely, you can choose to use safer, biodegradable options. Many soap solutions contain potassium, phosphates, sodium, and other toxins that are detrimental to the creatures that live in rivers, lakes, and streams. These days, you have plenty of options, and if you’re still relying on outdated chemicals, it may be time to look into a more progressive option. Additionally, washing vehicles on gravel or grass is ideal because they filter the tainted water before it enters a storm drain or the ground.
