SUSTAINABILITY
When utilizing a roller shade vs a faux wood blind, you are providing a more sustainable solution for the environment. A roller shade uses 90% less plastic than a faux wood blind which is about 8 gallons of oil! You are also reducing landfill waste and microplastics in our waterways, leading to a healthier and cleaner future
In today’s world, people are becoming more aware that resources are not unlimited and must be used wisely. At RosTech, we believe that sustainability and business can live symbiotically, keeping a watchful eye on money while giving people the lives they need along with protecting the environment for future generations.
Resource Reduction and Energy Savings
We work with apartment management groups and owners to help them be successful in their stated sustainability and environmental goals. We provide the total number of resources saved when using a roller shade versus a faux wood blind along with the energy saving attributed to automated roller shades, which in a recent Department of Energy study reduced total kilowatt hours up to 14%!
Plastics
Microplastics in our landfills and waterways is becoming a larger and larger issue each year. Most faux wood blinds are not recyclable and with the average lifespan of a faux wood blind being five to six years, this means that your blinds end up in the landfill several times over the lifespan of your property.
