The Importance of Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Office Supplies
An Eco-friendly office is an office that cares about the planet and our future. Offices are places that use huge amounts of energy and electricity, so making them as Eco-Friendly as possible will make a big difference to our combined carbon footprint.
Bringing Eco-Friendly office supplies to your office is important to us here at Albany Supplies. Please look for the green ‘eco-friendly’ badge on products on our website.
At Albany Supplies, we are always trying to improve our eco-friendly efforts. We currently have the following plan in action:
Colour-coded bins
We have installed colour-coded bins throughout our company in order to separate all generated waste.
Collections
Collections have been reduced to one black bag collection per week and a daily green bin collection when necessary. All other bins are collected on a telephone order basis.
Baling Station
Due to the volume of cardboard packaging generated we have installed a small baling unit in the waste area of our warehouse. Baling our cardboard will significantly reduce the amount of loose cardboard taking up valuable space and is much easier to manage.
Staff Training
To ensure that the waste programme is implemented in full, we have trained staff in all areas covering waste management plans. Two of our operators have been fully trained in all aspects covering the baling station including health and safety training.
Other ways to be more Eco-friendly at home and in the office:
Turn off unused appliances
One of the easiest and best ways to be more eco-friendly in the home and in the office, is by turning off lights and appliances which are not needed or being used. It’s as simple as turning off the light when leaving a room, or switching off all the office supplies every evening and at the weekend.
Eco-Friendly Tech & Office Supplies
Investing in eco-friendly tech and office supplies is a great way to be more eco-friendly in the home and office, now, and in the future. It will usually save you money on energy and electricity bills too, as well as reducing your carbon footprint. We have marked our eco-friendly tech and office supplies with our green ‘eco-friendly’ badge on our site. You can even find an Eco-friendly calculator, which is made from recycled plastic, and is powered through solar energy and a mercury-free battery.
Eco-friendly Cleaning Supplies
Switching to Eco-Friendly cleaning supplies in the office and at home, will make a great difference to our environment, our health and is also better for the planet. Using harsh cleaning chemicals pollutes our water and our air, damaging our wildlife and animals.
Turn that Tap
Turning the tap off straight away when it's not in use, is a great way to conserve water at home and in the office.
Recycle Old Tech
Before you purchase your new Eco-Friendly tech, you may need to dispose of your old tech. It is so important to properly recycle E-tech such as computers, printers, wires, computer accessories etc. You can easily do this by researching your nearest electronics recycling centre. Many electronics companies will take and recycle your old tech when delivering the new and improved Eco-tech too.
