LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NorthStar Moving Corporation, the leading eco-luxury mover in California, today announced that it was awarded the Signature Award for Best Use of Green Practices by the California Apartment Association of Los Angeles (CAA-LA), honoring outstanding apartment communities and industry partners in Los Angeles County. NorthStar Moving was chosen for their unique eco-luxury moving and storage services and green corporate practices, providing a bright green solution for households on the move.
“From responsible recycling, biodiesel moving trucks, eco-friendly storage, and energy efficient warehouses and offices, NorthStar Moving ensures that a move is green from beginning to end,” said CAA Los Angeles Executive Director Ryan Minniear. “Our panel of judges chose NorthStar Moving as our green award winner not only based on the company’s commitment to green, but also its unrivaled experience in the industry.”
NorthStar Moving has redefined the moving industry as the first to offer eco-luxury moving services, elevating basic moving and storage services to a new unparalleled level of customized care and environmental consciousness. The company’s green initiatives include moving trucks that run on bio-diesel fuel (a much cleaner alternative to regular diesel fuel), boxes made of 100% recyclable materials, biodegradable bubble wrap, discounts for clients that re-use and return boxes after the unpacking and organizing has been completed. Additionally, the company incorporates green features in their facilities such as skylights and extra windows in its warehouses and offices to provide natural light sources and eliminate unnecessary electrical use. Rather than countless rows of metal boxes and endless rows of asphalt driveways, the company uses recycled wooden vaults for their storage compartments that would have otherwise been discarded. NorthStar Moving also partners with E-Cycle Environmental, a service that domestically recycles computers, televisions, batteries and a plethora of other electronic and large bulky items that are often discarded during the moving and organizing process. Domestic recycling is key to making sure that materials are actually in fact recycled and not just dumped in third world countries to become toxic landfill.
“Being green is at the heart of our company. Our trucks may be red on the outside, but we are green on the inside,” said Laura McHolm, co-founder and marketing director of NorthStar Moving Corporation. “We are thrilled and honored to be recognized by the California Apartment Association of Los Angeles for all of our work to maintain an environmentally-sound method of business. Each and every day we work closely with our clients to green their moves and conduct every aspect of our business as environmentally-conscious as possible, and now we are proud to be known for it. We continually strive to be greener and welcome comments from the public on how we can be even greener.”
In addition to receiving the Signature Award for Best Use of Green Practices, NorthStar Moving’s green initiatives have sparked the interest of various charitable and socially conscious organizations who share the company’s vision of keeping the planet healthy and beautiful. NorthStar Moving assists Global Green with their pre-Oscar parties and works with the Hollywood Green Team which advises organizations on how to be greener. The company welcomes new partnership opportunities and donates to non-profits to aide the green cause.
