How To Be Eco-Friendly At Work

You can reduce the plastic in your office with just a few small changes. Every company has the responsibility of being aware of the impact they are having on the planet. If you’re not on board with this Eco-conscious movement already, here are some eco-friendly office ideas on how to make your office more green:

Bring Your Own Reusable Coffee Cups

Half of all plastic used worldwide is created for single use. Encouraging your staff to use reusable coffee cups can dramatically combat the volume of avoidable waste your workplace produces. Company-branded reusable coffee cups are also a great internal marketing move. A study was recently conducted to assess the impact of using promotional products as internal marketing. It was observed that the frequent use of branded products not only increases work performance and a more positive employee attitude. The results also indicate that the use of this type of internal communication can dramatically increase motivation and attitude towards the company, resulting in an increase in sales.

Invest in Recycled Paper

Companies should be providing their offices with recycled materials, and encouraging their employees to use recycled notebooks. If you don't have recycled paper notebooks - appeal directly to branded eco-friendly notebooks! This will not only help to reduce the amount of waste in landfills and also assuring awareness and visibility for your custom logo at all times.

Choose eco-friendly writing equipment 

During most of the day at work, we spend writing and for that reason choosing eco-friendly pens can help the environment, as plastic pens are not so easy to recycle and are thrown away. Considering a better solution for the environment and to improve the promotion of your brand, the use of promotional bamboo pens stands out because the bamboo material is completely biodegradable, apart from the recycled pens.

Plant trees

Planting trees gives the illusion of sophistication and can make your business look visually appealing.  They also play an important role in reducing pollution levels, which in turn improves the environment for your staff, with cleaner air in the atmosphere.

Encourage

You should encourage your colleagues and workers to be Eco-conscious out of the office as well. Why not try and start up a carpool or cycling team to get everyone working together to make it a lifestyle change rather than just an office lifestyle change.
