One particular environment that generates a ton of trash each day is an office building. Since these buildings are overwhelmed with employees who use resources in their respective offices such as paper all day long, one might think that it is near impossible to keep waste at a minimum. However, with a little extra effort and by paying close attention to your actions, it can actually be very simple to reduce waste in this type of environment! See below for three
tips that can help you lead the way in reducing waste in your office:
- Go digital: Now that digital technologies are so prominent in our everyday lives, make an effort to use them to your advantage in the office. For example, make email your primary form of communication and limit the amount of handouts that are printed each day.
- Pack lunch: Encourage your employees to pack their lunch in reusable containers rather than in brown paper bags and plastic lunch bags. Furthermore, for those that are avid coffee drinkers, suggest that they keep a coffee mug at their desk to reduce the amount of styrofoam cups that are used each day.
- Condense and save packages: When packing and shipping items, make an effort to pack as much into one box as possible. On the other hand, if you're on the receiving end of a package, save the cardboard boxes you receive and see how they can be reused in your own office at a later date.
