Recycling and environmental-awareness is often overlooked in busy office spaces; however, your workplace can make a huge difference to the environment.
Some physical factors are limiting, such as fully air-conditioned office buildings, but there are many steps that you and your co-workers can take to help to make your workspace greener. Simple eco-friendly tips that are successfully implemented in many Australian homes can be easily transported to your office.
- Contact Visy to arrange a recycling bin for your office space. Create a weekly rotating roster for putting the bin on the curb on the required day.
- Place small bins (ideally green-coloured) under each staff member’s desk to encourage non-confidential paper waste to be recycled.
- Invest in team water bottles with your business’ logo to save water and to eliminate any over-purchasing of disposable plastic drink bottles.
- Set up a double-sided printing function on all office computers, to decrease paper waste.
