Conclusion
Mamoru wholeheartedly endorsed the eco-solutions
proposed by the team, which were seamlessly integrated
into company operations and yielded impressive results.
Through the implementation of the Restoration Program Within the first month of implementation, we've observed a
Boost over 7 months, we have significantly reduced the significant decrease in air purifier waste. This initiative not only
number of disposed purifiers. This achievement translates to reduces costs for our customers but also enhances their trust
a substantial decrease in annual carbon emissions. in our commitment to sustainability. By conserving resources,
we contribute to a healthier planet. Moving forward, Mamoru
Key Improvements: will extend this program to other product lines.
•Reduced Purifier Disposal: The average number of purifiers
disposed of annually has been lowered from 106 to 60. This
represents a 46-purifier reduction per year.
•Cost saving: The disposal cost is reduced by half because the
frequency of disposal is reduced—estimated cost of saving
$500/year.
•Carbon Emission Reduction: The annual carbon dioxide
(CO2) emissions have been significantly curtailed from 10.25
tons to 5.8 tons. This translates to a remarkable reduction of
4.45 tons of CO2 annually.
•Percentage Improvement: The overall Reduction in carbon
emissions amounts to an impressive 43.4%.
The Restoration Program Boost has yielded substantial
environmental benefits by minimising waste and significantly
lowering carbon emissions.
Potential Carbon and Cost Savings for Singapore
Singapore, as a small, densely populated nation, faces
unique challenges in terms of resource management and
environmental sustainability. A closed-loop system which
aims to minimise waste and pollution while maximising
resource efficiency presents a promising solution. Landfills
are significant sources of greenhouse gas emissions due to
the decomposition of organic matter. By reducing waste
generation and increasing recycling rates, Singapore can
significantly decrease its carbon footprint.
It is reasonable to assume that there are over 100 companies
similar to Mamoru. If these practices have been widely
adopted, this sector could collectively save an impressive
445 tons of CO2 each year and $50,000/yr of cost savings in
disposal reduction.
