At Riley Maintenance Systems, sustainability is not just a buzzword. It is a commitment we take seriously every single quarter. That is why we are proud to share the results of our Q2 2026 Environmental Impact Report, powered by our partner Emerald Ecovations, a Division of Paradigm.
This quarter, the Emerald Ecovations products we provided to our clients made a measurable difference for the planet. Here is what that looked like from April through June 2026.
47 Trees Saved
By providing Tree-Free™ products to our clients, we helped spare 47 trees from being cut down to produce everyday paper goods. Forests are critical to clean air, wildlife habitats, and a stable climate. Every tree that stays standing is a win for all of us.
275 LBs of Plastic Avoided
Through the use of bioplastic cutlery and liners made from renewable resources, we kept 275 pounds of plastic out of our oceans and landfills. Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time, and switching to smarter materials is one of the most direct ways to fight it.
158 KG of Carbon Avoided
Reducing carbon emissions helps mitigate climate change, improve air quality, and protect biodiversity. This quarter, our product choices helped avoid 158 kilograms of carbon from entering the atmosphere. That is the kind of impact that adds up fast when distributed across an entire client base.
6,373 Gallons of Water Saved
Water is one of our most vital and finite natural resources. By reducing water usage in our supply chain, we helped conserve 6,373 gallons of freshwater this quarter alone, easing the strain on natural ecosystems that depend on it.
5,486 LBs of Landfill Diverted
Our commercially compostable products are designed to biodegrade in commercial composting facilities or through bio digesting systems. This quarter, that translated to 5,486 pounds of material kept out of landfills and put back into the earth the right way.
Why This Matters
These results were made possible through the Emerald Ecovations product line, which carries products that are Tree-Free™, plastic-free, toxin free, and commercially compostable. Their environmental calculator uses a methodology developed by an independent third-party organization to assess the real impact of these products, so you can trust the numbers are grounded in verified science.
The benefits go beyond the stats, too. By distributing these products to our clients this quarter, we collectively contributed to:
- Reducing deforestation
- Protecting ocean habitats
- Reducing air pollution
- Protecting water supplies
- Reducing methane emissions
A Commitment That Continues
Q2 2026 is one chapter in an ongoing story. We are proud of what these numbers represent, but we are even more motivated by what they point toward: a future where the products our clients rely on do not come at the planet’s expense.
Thank you to our clients, partners, and team members who make this possible. Together, we are not just supplying great products. We are helping build a healthier world.
