Written By: Jocelyn Chavez, Franchise Solutions
If you’re intrigued by companies that are emerging as leaders in fast-growing industries like the green movement then you’ll be interested in learning about innovative franchise opportunities that let you tap into some of the hottest industries. Earth-friendly franchises, for example, cater to the growing interest in protecting the environment and provide you with the opportunity to own an in-demand, eco-conscious business.
The Greening of the Restaurant Industry
Green solutions and eco-friendly practices have become increasingly important to business owners and the customers that patronize their establishments. From reducing energy consumption, to local food movements, the restaurant industry is among the sectors that has adopted sustainable solutions. Once perceived as wasteful, many restaurants are revamping their image by employing unique environmentally-friendly practices that help them reduce the amount of waste generated, minimize their carbon footprint and as a result, attract eco-conscious consumers.
One unique, green franchise that’s reducing the impact that restaurants and other food service businesses have on the environment, is Opus Environmental. Opus Environmental has developed an innovative system for eliminating and recycling the tremendous amount of food waste that’s generated by food service businesses. As a whole, the U.S. generates over 27 million tons of food waste per year, and food is the third largest component of all waste generated with discarded food occupying 30% of all landfill space.
Through the use of Opus Environmental’s, made in the USA, Enviro-Pure composting systems, food service businesses can reduce the amount of food waste they generate by up to 90%. This prevents discarded food from winding up in landfills enabling food service businesses to reap economical and operational benefits.
The need for Opus Environmental’s products, combined with minimal competition in the market provides aspiring franchise owners with the opportunity to own a green business that’s poised for growth.
Previous Restaurant Experience is Not a Prerequisite
Like many franchise concepts, Opus Environmental offers prospective franchise owners a complete, proven operating system, extensive training, a detailed operations manual and ongoing support. Opus Environmental franchisees also receive a protected, exclusive territory and a list of food service establishments within that area that are potential clients of Enviro-Pure products.
Low Operating Costs and a Passive Recurring Revenue Stream
Only a computer, phone and car is necessary and the business can be run from home. Although the affordable, low-overhead, home-based business model does not require employees, Opus Environmental franchise owners can opt to hire employees if they choose to do so. Both Enviro-Pure systems require a proprietary medium that must be replaced periodically in order to operate. Each time franchisees’ clients purchase more of the proprietary medium the franchisees are compensated, which translates into a passive recurring revenue stream.
If you’re looking to own a rewarding business that benefits both end users and the world as a whole, green franchises are an ideal choice. A wide range of earth-friendly opportunities are available and with everyone from consumers to business owners, rethinking how they live and work the demand for eco-conscious products and services will continue to grow. Be there to meet the needs of an increasingly environmentally-aware society by owning an earth-friendly franchise.
