When we receive the Racks from our suppliers, we keep aside all the protective materials, and we use them in the final packaging process. If you consider how many Racks, we provide every year you can easily estimate the reduction in plastic and paper waste.

When we receive items from our suppliers, we keep aside the boxes and the protective materials that apply to our standards, for future use.

Keep the zip lock bags. They came in so many sizes and colors and you will be amazed at how helpful they can be. Use them against stretch films and duct tape to packing bundle items. Since you can find them even in A4 Paper Size, use them to organize your documents and protect them from damage. Just use your hole punch and place them in Document Binders or simply place them inside Document Boxes.

Keep the protective polystyrene materials for the next sensitive equipment you want to pack or protect.

Keep the rubber bands for future use. Use them against packing tape. If you think that, this is minor, let us inform you that sometimes we consume them faster than we collect them.

Keep the plastic twist tie wire. Prefer them against tie-wraps. Take advantage of the variation in colors and sizes to organize and attach cables. You don’t need tools to remove them, and you can just move them to another position if you make a mistake.

Evaluate if the dimensions of the box, match the boxes you normally buy. If not, think out of the box and consider modifying it for protection in sensitive items.

Instead of wasting paper, energy, and printer ink, keep the sticker with the serial number attached to the box. In the zip lock bag, you kept aside, place the Serial Number clippings from the boxes of the components that will be installed inside the Rack, Server Room, Vessel Room, Company Office, etc.

Optimize the Rack equipment placement to maximize the airflow and hot/cold air distribution and reduce the Fan’s Thermostat since the Rack will work 24/7/365.
