INDUSTRIAL LUBRICANTS: PRACTICAL METHODS TO GO GREEN

Businesses search for eco-friendly and cost-saving alternatives in the marketplace. Bluesky Lubricants answers with a new brand of synthetic and environmentally conscious products.

WILKES BARRE, PA (October 2012) - American businesses are increasingly adopting environmentally-friendly practices to reduce their carbon footprint. From using eco-friendly light bulbs to installing solar panels on the top of a distribution warehouse, the trend is to preserve the environment while lowering operating costs.

Market research suggests that particular business sectors have an advantage over others to capitalize on green alternatives. While major corporations have the resources to purchase renewable energy, move operating centers to more advantageous climates, or foster large-scale recycling programs, many small businesses do not have that capacity. Small industrial businesses are often location-centric and based in older generational facilities that are hard to affordably retrofit beyond energy system, window, or light replacements. Many small business leaders are asking what else can be done in their daily operation.

American manufacturers have made efforts to reduce the amount of waste, electricity, and water used in the assembly of products, but an area frequently overlooked is the environmental impact of petroleum products used to operate machinery. There are many pieces of machinery that run on standard petroleum lubricants, but there are alternatives that can make a difference " says Vice President of Bluesky lubricants, Jim Lewis. Bluesky is a recently launched nationwide brand that offers a full range of premium synthetic lubricants as well as environmentally responsible lubricating oils for farm equipment and hydraulic systems. Petroleum Service Company, an 82- year nationwide distributor of top petroleum brands, has signed on as the exclusive distributor. Bluesky will play an important role among our product offerings because of its quality and unique value proposition in a market that craves synthetic and environmentally conscious lubricants, " says Rick Rose, President of Petroleum Service Company. He continues to say that the synthetic lubricants market has become more cost effective over time and Bluesky is uniquely positioned to provide value, because the value is in the technology not only for the environment but for your overhead.

Synthetic lubricants are a widespread and increasingly cost effective trend in the petroleum business that have a variety of positive factors. A small manufacturer of valves in Indiana can make a difference by simply switching their equipment over from standard mineral based lubricants to synthetic products that Bluesky offers, " says Jim Lewis. Proven to create less internal friction, synthetic lubricants reduce energy usage, run cleaner, last longer, and effectively reduce maintenance costs.

The opportunity to create value and be environmentally conscious with industrial lubricants mirrors other expenses in business from purchasing cleaning supplies to equipment. An organization may not have the resources of a major corporation to tackle all of the eco-incentives out there, but with patience and research, there are always small steps that businesses can take to make an impact and save money.
