Celebrating Earth Day: How Pigybak’s Home Improvement App is Leading the Sustainability Revolution

As we commemorate Earth Day, Pigybak is proud to share how sustainability is at the core of our mission. From leveraging technology to reduce waste to championing community-focused initiatives, we’re committed to creating meaningful change for our planet and our communities.

Here’s how Pigybak is taking action to prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility:

1. Minimizing Paper Waste with Technology

Traditional contractor and home improvement processes rely heavily on paper materials—mailers, printed quotes, and invoices—that contribute to deforestation and unnecessary waste. Pigybak has replaced these outdated methods with digital-first solutions.

• Automated Notifications: Our platform eliminates the need for paper communications by automating messages, quotes, and project updates.
• Customer Engagement: By embracing email, in-app communication, and text messaging, Pigybak significantly reduces paper waste, promoting sustainability in every interaction.

Learn more about the environmental impact of paper waste and why reducing it is critical to preserving our planet.

2. Reducing Emissions with Efficient Routing

The construction industry is a major contributor to carbon emissions, with contractors traveling long distances between job sites. Pigybak solves this problem by using technology to optimize routes and reduce travel distances.

• Job Clustering: Pigybak groups similar jobs within the same neighborhood, cutting travel emissions by up to 25%.
• Cleaner Air: Fewer miles traveled means less fuel consumption and cleaner air for everyone.

By incorporating these practices, Pigybak ensures that sustainability and efficiency go hand in hand. Learn more about the impact of transportation emissions from the EPA.

3. Material Sharing for Waste Reduction

Waste in the home improvement industry often stems from over-purchasing materials or improper disposal. Pigybak tackles this issue through innovative material-sharing solutions.

• Collaborative Purchasing: Contractors on Pigybak can pool resources, reducing excess inventory and minimizing waste.
• Dumpster and Resource Sharing: Similar jobs in close proximity can share dumpsters and leftover materials, further reducing environmental impact.

These initiatives promote a circular economy and help contractors save time and money.

4. Community-Focused Initiatives

Sustainability is not just about reducing waste—it’s about building stronger communities. At Pigybak, we’re committed to supporting local economies and uplifting underserved communities.

• Rehabilitating Existing Homes: We prioritize home renovations over new builds, preserving community character and promoting sustainable development.
• Investing in Communities: Pigybak donates 5% of its revenue to nonprofits focused on community development and trades education, starting with One Step Ahead of Northeast Ohio.
