SSI and the Environment


The North is a beautiful land. It is one of the notable spots in Canada that remains pristine, seemingly untouched by the hand of man. We have clean air and water here. We have vast uninhabited spaces. We have some of the most beautiful lakes anywhere. Awe inspiring views. The Aurora Borealis. The North is home to some amazing wonders.

Did you know?

If everyone in Canada had just one letter sent to them electronically rather than by mail, we would save over 90 trees each year. Small changes really do make a difference.
At SSI, we feel it is important to do everything we can to help keep this land clean, so that future generations can enjoy the same wonders that we do today. We feel a strong responsibility to do our part in minimizing the detrimental impact we have on the Northern Environment. We have implemented a number of policies to ensure that our footprint on the Northern environment is as minimal as possible.

Recycling Initiatives

At SSI Micro we believe that by conserving water and energy, eliminating waste and using recycled materials we can make a difference. Everyone at SSI takes part in making our green initiatives a reality.

We recycle all cans and bottles that are used on the premises.

We have a paper-recycling bin and encourage staff to print double sided to reduce paper consumption.

We reuse all boxes and packaging materials that arrive with our shipments.

All Toner cartridges are sent in for recycling

We reuse boxes and packages for our modems; our boxes are 100% cardboard with no shrink-wrap or excess plastic wrapping.

We compost all organic matter, ensuring that no unnecessary waste ends up in plastic bags in the landfills

We use towels rather than paper towels in our corporate bathroom.

Our lunches are all "green" in that we don't use anything disposable but have a fully functioning kitchen and media area. We offer a "just like home environment" for staff to enjoy. 

Our commitment to the environment does not end here. We will continually evaluate new ways to reduce our consumption of energy, reduce our utilization of consumables, and cut down our environmental footprint.
