Environmentally Friendly Products And Recycling Service

Chris Moon (Head of Sustainability, GREEN YOUR OFFICE) gives expert video advice on: What eco friendly supplies can I buy for my office?; Should I bring in my own coffee cup?; How will my office benefit from green plants? and more...

What eco friendly supplies can I buy for my office?

Eco-friendly supplies that can be purchased for offices include traditional office paper, and other products. Equipment such as photocopiers, printers, and faxes. Also, fixtures and fittings, such as desks and chairs. All of these types of items can now be sourced through environmentally friendly procurement policies.

Where can my company buy eco friendly office supplies?

Eco Friendly office supplies are now readily available from a number of organizations. A first portico could be Green Your Office which has items available on the website, or Green Works which provides office equipments.

Can I buy environmentally friendly tea and coffee for my office?

Environmentally friendly tea, coffee and other items can now be readily purchased for offices. They're available through Green Your Office or other organizations, so there is fair trade organic tea, coffee, and biscuits that demonstrate that you can buy these goods without the use of toxic pesticides and other chemicals, and also provide a decent return for the farmers in overseas countries.

Should I bring in my own coffee cup?

It's a good idea to bring in your own china cup because this will mean less disposable cups are used in the workplace. Even if you have to wash it yourself, it will still be better for the environment overall.

Should my company be using non toxic cleaning products?

Companies should be using non toxic cleaning products. The first UK to provide this as a comprehensive service is Green Your Office, the Cleaning and Greening Service. Cleaners therefore are trained only to use environmentally friendly products in their kitchens, in the offices, in the washrooms, to demonstrate your green credentials.

How will my office benefit from green plants?

Offices can benefit from having green plants and foliage in the workplace because they obviously reduce the level of CO2 in the atmosphere, but also it just leads to a more pleasant and friendly environment in which to work. Many companies now are even introducing green roofs so there is a habitat for wildlife, and this is providing an added benefit to companies even when it is outside of the office.

    Here is another cool idea to make use of all the wasted printouts sitting around your office. Reuse them and create cool notebooks. Here is a video that shows you how. http://www.ehow.com/video_2242954_recycled-green-notebook.html You just need a comb binder and paper cutter which will run you about $250-$300. You could also use a padding press ( $50 - $100) to glue into notepads. Check out at http://ishopbinding.com/tasks/make-a-notepad
