How Companies Can Become Cleaner And Greener

It is a fact that companies who take a clean and green approach to the way that they

operate are more trusted by customers, and the public in general, and also incur fewer costs. What then can be done to become an environmentally friendly company?

Re-Use Paper - Paper is often the highest volume waste stream in the workplace and, even if a recycling system can not be set up, simply reducing and re-using paper can result in significant waste and cost savings. So, Print documents double-sided and keep a tray of scrap paper next to the printer for use with internal documents etc. Better still try to avoid printing where possible.

Purchase Recycled Paper - Purchasing recycled paper is no more expensive than buying virgin paper, and the quality is the same. Therefore, there really is no excuse for continuing to buy virgin paper, which not only requires more trees to be cut down, but also uses up substantially more water and energy to make. Re-Use Plastic Cups - Plastics are harmful to the environment both when they are produced (various chemicals are emitted) and when they are disposed of (taking hundreds of years to decompose). Therefore, it really is inexcusable to not re-use the same plastic cup throughout the day, or to even do away with plastic cups altogether and just use mugs instead.

Recycle Printer Cartridges - Printer cartridges that are thrown away are a real problem for the environment, and are also the cause of unnecessary extra costs being incurred for companies. Once a printer cartridge has run out, the best and cheapest option is to just refill it yourself, alternatively though, you can send it back to the supplier, who will then sell you a recycled one, that works as good as a new one, for as little as half the price.

Recycle Aluminum - Aluminum can be recycled indefinitely, and the production of a recycled aluminum product emits just 5% of the amount of CO2 that is emitted when a brand new aluminum product is produced. So, considering the benefits, surely setting up an aluminum collection point next to vending machines, and in canteen areas, is the right thing to do.
