As we navigate the ever-evolving world of nonprofit organizations, some names shine brightly, becoming synonymous with their cause. Keep America Beautiful® is undoubtedly one of those entities, and we at Office H2O are thrilled to support them in 2024. Their dedication to improving communities by reducing waste and creating clean, green, and beautiful public spaces is nothing short of inspiring. It's more than just an environmental initiative—it's a movement to build places we can all be proud of.
Keep America Beautiful was founded in 1953 with a mission to tackle the growing issue of roadside litter in America. From the start, they embraced the idea that a cleaner environment uplifts human dignity and enhances quality of life. They understood that fostering community pride starts with addressing the visible signs of neglect. Over the years, their approach has evolved to include everything from grassroots community actions to strategic partnerships with local governments.
The impact of their work is profound. From their early "littering is wrong" campaigns to their current nationwide focus on recycling and waste reduction, Keep America Beautiful has made a significant dent in reducing litter and raising awareness about environmental stewardship. Their efforts align seamlessly with our mission at Office H2O, where we're committed to cutting down on plastic bottle usage and waste.
One of their most impactful programs is the Great American Cleanup®, held annually in the spring. This nationwide event mobilizes hundreds of thousands of volunteers to engage in various activities like planting trees, cleaning parks, and recycling waste. This year’s cleanup runs from March 19 to June 20, 2024. It’s a powerful demonstration of how collective action can transform communities.
Education is another cornerstone of their work. Keep America Beautiful runs educational campaigns designed to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to make a difference. Their efforts don’t just inform—they inspire action. By fostering a culture of responsibility, they encourage people to take ownership of their local environments.
For those eager to get involved, there are countless ways to contribute. Whether it’s joining a local cleanup event, organizing a recycling drive, or donating financially, every effort counts. We’re proud to have already supported their cause through the Bottleless Nation Charitable Foundation, working alongside our sister company Artesian Bottleless Water and our billing partner Pure Water Partners.
The ripple effect of their work is immense. By keeping public spaces clean and well-maintained, they prevent harmful pollutants from entering our soil and water systems. Their educational programs teach us how proper waste management can reduce landfill use and lower energy consumption. Moreover, their efforts promote a sense of community pride and belonging. When we feel responsible for our surroundings, we’re more likely to engage socially and economically within our neighborhoods.
Cleaner communities aren’t just aesthetically pleasing; they’re also more appealing to residents, tourists, and businesses. This can lead to increased property values and stronger local economies. Whether you’re an individual, a business, or a community group, Keep America Beautiful offers numerous ways to get involved.
This is our chance to come together and create a brighter, cleaner future for America’s communities. Let’s roll up our sleeves and make a difference.
PTA Powder
Main application:Repair and
strengthen workpiece surface, significantly
Welding method:PTA welding
Main equipment:PTA welding
machine
Flame core temperature: about 10000℃
Technological characteristics:PTA has high
temperature, concentrated energy, stable combustion, small heat affected zone,
fast welding speed, high production efficiency, easy to obtain low dilution
rate of surfacing layer, surfacing layer and workpiece matrix are metallurgical
bonding,, bonding strength is high.

PTA welding technology is one of surface
strengthening methods, which has high deposition rate, low dilution rate, and
could be applied with many kinds of powder. The manufacturing craft of PTA
powder is normally gas atomization, which reduces satellite of powder. We
supply 4 main categories of PTA powder: Nickel-based alloy powder, Iron-based
alloy powder, Cobalt-based alloy powder and Mixed Powder.
Nickel Based Alloy Powder possesses high
temperature resistance and wear resistance, it is the most popular alloy powder
applied by PTA welding both domestically and internationally. Coating hardness
is within the range of HRC 30-60. It could be applied to various industries
like agriculture, plastic, paper, marine and steel making where wear and
corrosion protection needed. Some examples are plunger, moulds, pump leaf and
screw.
Iron Based Alloy Powder is more widely used
and a more economic choice. With high abrasive resistance, it is more commonly
applied to mining tools, drilling tools and mixers of iron and steel making
industry, coal industry, shaft, oil and energy industry.
Cobalt Based Alloy Powder is recommended
for corrosion and oxidation resistance, with better hot hardness values than
equivalent Nickel based alloy powder. It is widely applied to steel making
industry, coal industry and mining industry.
Mixed powder mainly refers to NiCrBSi
mixing with other hard-phase powder such as cast tungsten carbide and other cemented
alloy powder, which allows the powder better hardness around HRC60 and
excellent abrasion resistance.
Mixed powder is more often used for mining
equipment for oil sands, lignite, oil drilling tools, excavator buckets,
extrusion screws for plastic processing, grain and oil processing, etc.
