IPS GREEN INITIATIVES

We are committed to sustainable business and manufacturing processes that minimize the impact on our environment.

IPS offers better ROI through sustainability

Here’s how:

Solar Power

A Los Angeles department report estimated that IPS solar-powered meters keep approximately 60,000 AA batteries out of LA landfills each year.

Equipment Longevity

IPS reduces the waste of discarded equipment by building more durable products to maximize product life. Many of our first-generation machines are still in the field.

Hardware Upcycling

Our Upgrade Kits allow cities to reuse old meter and pay station hardware, which helps reduce the demand for new materials and keeps discarded equipment out of landfills.

Battery Recycling

We partner with a battery recycling service that we use internally, and recommend to our customers. IPS has never used environmentally toxic nickel-cadmium batteries.

Plastics Recycling

Plastic components and Lexan coverings from old meters are recycled into new plastic parts whenever possible, reducing the amount of plastic in local landfills.

Equipment Reducing CO2 Emissions

Combining our meter, sensor, and mobile app technologies enables “wayfinding”, reducing carbon waste of congestion and circling. A report by Verizon Wireless calculated an annualized reduction of 34,192 metric tons of CO2 from IPS meters in the US.

Remote Monitoring

Our web-based Enforcement Management System allows Parking Enforcement Officers to immediately spot citable vehicles, significantly reducing the amount of field patrolling.

Online Enforcement & Permitting Processing

Our online portals allow the public to pay citations or apply for permits entirely online, eliminating paper forms and reducing trips to municipal offices.
