This is a presentation I completed at DeVry University in ENG206 Technical communication. The company mentioned is hypothetical.

1. Transitioning for A Better Tomorrow Replacing Disposable Compressed Air Products with Eco-Friendly Alternatives

3. Chase Bank

4. Alamo Car Rental

5. K-Mart Corporation

7. Dust causes heat insulation and damage to electrical circuitry

8. Dust “grabs” components and circuitry. Technician uses Disposable Compressed Air to remove dust. Dust removal with compressed air only 80% effective.

9. Problem with Process Technician discards empty can into garbage. 104 Cans are used by each tech every year. 104 Cans X 90 Tech = 9,360 Cans 9,360 cans sent to landfill by our company. Aluminum decomposition time = 200 to 500 years (Lawhorn 2008).

10. Problem with Process (Cont’d) Compressed air products contain harmful chemicals and are not accepted by most recycling centers.

11. An Alternative to Self-Destruction WD-40 Turbo Air Blower Re-chargeable and re-usable air powered cleaning system Capable of 30 MPH continuous blast of air. Sold with delicate brush attachment and concentrated blast nozzle. Three-Year Product Guarantee.

12. Our Financial Impacts Current Supply Costs Each tech uses 104 cans of air. (Per Yr.) 90 techs x 104 cans (Per Yr.) = 9,360 Cans (per year) Average cost per can = $6.65 Each 9,360 Cans X $6.65 = $62,244 Per Year (Compressed Air Supply Cost) Three Year Supply Cost = $186,732

13. Our Financial Impacts (Cont.) Projected Supply Costs Each tech utilizes one reusable air device. One blower unit per tech. (90 Units) Unit Retail Cost = $29.99 Each 90 units X $29.99 = $2,699.10 (Three Yr Cost) One Year Supply Savings = $62,244

14. Our Financial Impacts (Cont.) Current and Projected Supply Costs Three Year Supply Savings = $184,032.90

15. Our Contribution to Earth 9,360 Cans diverted from landfills! 9,360 Cans containing traces of harmful chemicals are kept from landfills each year.

16. No Time to Waste! Approval Today… = …Results Tomorrow! The Time to Act is NOW!
