Recycling in the Office
Most people think first about reducing consumption at home, by saving in different ways on electricity or gas. But often the workplace is a vital location to put some attention. Going green is a 24/7 proposition, so you should consider how you can reduce, reuse and recycle (the three R’s again) at the office.
You should also realize that every bit of reduction you can manage is just going to save you money and increase your profits!
As at home, ensure your employees turn off all lights that aren’t being used. You should make sure outside lights are turned off at the end of the day, so they don’t burn all night long. Installing some mirrors within the workplace can reflect the natural light and perhaps reduce your artificial light needs.
Don’t leave any office equipment on standby. Turn it off, including your monitors. Use printers in the “economy mode,” and reduce toner use. When you are going to replace old equipment, buy new equipment rated as “energy star qualified.”
Do not permit doors and windows to remain open when the heater or air conditioner is running. Common sense, yes, but many don’t think about it enough. Try turning down the heat a few degrees.
Check the bathrooms and make sure that no faucets are dripping and that all toilets, etc. are working properly.
Printing right can be a big savings. Try to print on both sides of paper when printing out documents. Use recycled paper and toner and ink cartridges. If you buy compatible or remanufactured ink cartridges and toner cartridges, you’ll find you are saving a lot of money, as well as preventing used cartridges from going to the dumps.
