Environmental programs:

Packaging recycling:
Alan Mance segregates and recycles all its paper and cardboard through Visyboard, which recycles it into paper and more cardboard products.

Used Oil:
All of Alan Mance waste oil is recycled through an appropriate licensed contractor who blends it into fuel oil or it is used as fuel to burn medical waste products.

Tyres:
All our old tyres are recycled back through the manufacture who granulize them and are made into new tyres.

Service:
We used to use plastic seat covers for mechanics when a vehicle came in for service,
we now have changed to each mechanic having two cloth seats covers which a cleaned weekly.

We also have the old oil filters squashed to expel the oil out of the oil filter, which can contain up to .5 Lt of oil. The oil is then recycled and the oil filter used as landfill. Alan Mance Motors is currently pursuing options for the oil filter to be recycled. Alan Mance also uses and sells packets of rags, which are made from recycled cloths. After we use the
rags they are recycled back through the supplier. All cleaning products are accredited to be environmentally friendly. No washing of vehicles is done on the yard reducing the risk of detergents entering the storm water system, all washing of vehicles is done in our purpose built car wash facility which has a triple interceptor waste management system in it which separates oil, heavy waste, detergent and other pollutants which are removed and recycled.

Parts:
Damaged or old stock is recycled through a contractor who recycles it into new parts.

Vehicles:
Holden is always striving to improve fuel economy and reduce Co2 emissions 

Tree Planting:
As part of the PAR Leasing arm of Alan Mance Motors

• PAR Leasing will contribute $30.00 for every operating lease written to Knoxbrooke Incorporated (Yarraview Nursery). Knoxbrooke Incorporated provide quality services for adults with intellectual and other disabilities. It is proposed that these funds are to be utilised in the planting of trees in current or future development projects or initiatives undertaken by the VicRoads.

Vehicle orders:
Alan Mance Motors and PAR leasing encourage staff and customers to use less paper by:

Customers emailing their orders to us
Prospecting vary the Internet and email
Using recycled paper for mail outs and advertising material

The Alan Mance Motors group is continually trying to improve the environment by reducing, re-cycling and reusing all of its day-to-day needs. We believe over the past two years of reductions we have saved 10% off our electricity bill, waste management, paper products and purchasing of garden trees and shrubs.

Alan Mance also have grown and planted over 400 trees in the last two years, which are now used around their new sites at Melton, Bacchuss Marsh and Footscray. The planting of these trees was a directive from PAR Leasing to plant one tree for each vehicle it leased. We currently have around 5000 trees being grown.
