Intelleflex is committed to helping our environment. This commitment is reflected in everything we do, from our recycling policies to the positive environmental benefits of our solutions. We think we have some pretty good ideas and, working with our partners and customers, we strive to make a difference.
It's estimated that anywhere from 33%-50% of the world's food supply goes to waste. About half of this waste is due to poor temperature monitoring and controls as the food travels from the farm to the store. Even slight changes in the food's storage temperature negatively impacts its shelf life. Anything that we can collectively do to optimize and manage shelf life reduces this waste and means more fresh, healthy food is available to feed the world's population. This is progressively more critical as the global population continues to increase. Clearing more forest land to plant more crops is not a good solution as it can impact climate change and requires the use of more fertilizers, further harming the environment. Intelleflex perishable food solutions help reduce waste by improving food distribution. Our solutions help maximize shelf life and stretch our increasingly limited food resources enabling us to feed more people with the same amount of harvested food.
Similarly, our asset tracking solutions improve the efficiency and utilization of trucks, harvesting equipment and heavy construction equipment. This reduces fuel consumption and air pollution.
Some of our products use Lithium batteries. And, while our products are designed to last for many years, when their useful life is done, we strongly encourage people to send them back to us so we can properly recycle the batteries so that they don't end up in landfills. If you have some of our products that you'd like to recycle, please contact us.
And, in our Santa Clara office, we recycle everything from paper to cans and bottles.
Helping our environment is one of the reasons many of us came to work at Intelleflex. We see a lot of the benefits that our solutions have on the world around us. If you have new ideas how our technology can help, please let us know by emailing us.
