Reduce Reuse Remove (paper, that is!) - Most offices use paper in excess, and while the "paperless office" may still be impractical for many, the use of green office products and a conscious effort to decrease unnecessary paper use can significantly reduce your office's impact on the environment.
Purchasing paper with a high percent recycled or post consumer content, like our 100% recycled post consumer content printing paper, will help preserve virgin forest from being cut down for the use of fax, printer and copier paper. A device called a duplexer can be attached to a printer that will allow it to print double sided, saving paper. Also, be conscious to always look for Chlorine Free and non toxic labels when buying green office paper products, such as our non toxic, 100% recycled envelopes or recycled post-it notes.
Problems with Plastic - Avoiding plastic when possible is a big step in greening an office. Many plastic items can also be reused, such as bags and containers. Because plastics are harmful to the environment both in manufacturing and disposal, alternatives like wood, metal, alternative renewable materials, or recycled plastic content are preferable over new plastic products. Try our recycled computer disks and eco friendly flash drives, made with significantly less harmful chemicals. When plastic is unavoidable, make sure to never use anything with PVC, look for designations of low or no toxicity, and be sure the product is recyclable at the end of its useful life.
Electronics - When looking for electronics for your eco-office, check for Energy Star certification, which indicates electronics that are more energy efficient. LCD monitors contain fewer toxic chemicals such as lead and mercury than traditional monitors. To conserve energy, make sure to shut down your electronics when you leave the office, as standby mode continues to draw electricity while not in use.
Electronic Recycling - When updating electronic systems, be sure to appropriately dispose of electronics. Most cities and towns now have electronic disposal centers that accept most electronics. Computers, printers and phones are extremely toxic and should not be thrown in the garbage. Screens and circuit boards contain lead, cadmium, and mercury, which can leach into the ground and contaminate soil and water. Check local listing for recycling centers in your area.
