Recently, going green has become a very popular thing to do. People are buying electric cars, installing solar panels on their roofs, composting in their back yards and a whole host of other things. People need to realize however, that going green does not have to be relegated to just your personal life. In this article I’ll go over one fascinating business that has taken going green to another level. This business has taken a common environment damaging industry and turned it into a business that actually helps the environment. I’ll even tell you how you can start your own franchise in this industry.

The business I’m talking about is the pothole filler industry. I know your probably thinking that this is the last kind of business that would be considered green. Large trucks, carbon emitting machinery, and hot asphalt usually don’t qualify as green materials. However, one particular company has been able to make this business much greener.

I’ll take you through the process so that you can get a feel for what the company does and how it does it. Firstly, the crew arrives at the scene of the offending pot hole in a small truck with a trailer attached to it. It then proceeds to quickly heat up the asphalt so that it can be worked with. During this process much of the previously used asphalt is recovered and reused. Basically the crew recycles the old material so that they do not have to use as much new asphalt.

They then take their pothole patching equipment and quickly level out and smooth over the repaired pothole. It takes less than thirty minutes to complete this entire process. Consequently cars can get back on the road quickly and traffic is not tied up for days. The amount of gas that is saved by all drivers that would have been stuck in traffic can definitely add up.

In addition to this the repaired pothole is no longer causing damage to every vehicle that drives over it. Therefore there are less repairs being done and less parts being made. The less we have to take from the environment, the less impact we make.

If your interested in starting a green business like this, you might want to look into starting a pothole franchise of your own. This can be a fun and challenging career to get into and the market for it is very big right now. Also, starting a business like this is not only a good way to go green, but is also a great way to make green. Fixing potholes is most certainly a “shovel ready project”.

The company you ought to consider working with is Dr Pothole. They have all the innovative technology and techniques that I mentioned earlier in the article. You’ll also find that the training they offer is superb. Each new franchise member receives a full thirty days of training.
