Green Office Supplies – A Better Choice For Your Business
Important changes are now taking place in our homes and offices as more people realize the importance of going green and being environmentally responsible for the health of our planet.
One growing area where changes have been taking place over the last few years involves making the office greener. One way to do this is through buying post-consumer recycled content like green business products and green office supplies.
You can start the process of greening your office by purchasing green office paper, which contains a higher percentage of post-consumer content, or recycled materials. Check the chlorine content of the paper before you purchase. Chlorine is added to paper to help keep it white when exposed to the sun, but this has the downside effect of releasing toxic organic chemical compounds back into the environment. Choose recycled paper wherever possible for your office paper, stationery, business card stock and envelopes, but first make sure that you know what the paper’s chlorine content is before you buy. Ideally, you will want to buy office paper supplies that is chlorine free, sourced from responsible harvesting practices, made using carbon neutral and renewable energy processes and 100% post consumer recycled content.
Another important thing to review when greening your office is your ink cartridges. Choose a green office products company that offers not only recyclable ink cartridges, but also a cartridge collection program to help reduce the environmental impact from the manufacturing of new ink and laser cartridges. These program promote a reduction in the disposal of empties into landfill and reduce waste.
Other green office products you can source for your office include eco-friendly pens, pencils, organizers, binders, notebooks, post-it notes, floor mats, trash containers, recyclable electronic office supplies … even bio-degradable paper plates and cups for office functions.
In Australia, one of the leading office supply companies that are specializing more and more in catering to the needs of green offices is Penfold by Office Choice (penfoldoc.com.au). Their “Green Choice” initiative assists customers wanting to make their business greener via the implementation of a green office and offers a wide range of green office solutions which can be ordered online or purchased from any of their retail locations in Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide. They will even source any green office products your business needs if it’s not listed in their current stock.
Here are some useful tips for greening your office:
- Participate in a toner cartridge recycling program
- Consider energy efficiency when buying new business machines
- Select environmentally preferable soaps and cleaning products.
- Encourage the use of environmentally friendly printing practices
- Monitor your lighting usage
- Minimize landfill – decommission your machines when they reach end of life
- Develop a green purchasing policy, and educate your staff
The next time you need office products for your business or home office, consider buying green and look for office product alternatives that have been made from products that have either been recycled, or that are made using recyclable materials, that are manufactured and marketed in a sustainable manner, and that have less impact on the environment than traditional office products. You can save money and help the planet at the same time.
