Five steps you can take today to make your office more sustainable

Beyond encouraging your office to avoid single-use plastic bags and plastic packaging, you can ensure the soft plastics you do use are recycled correctly. If your office wants to do even more to fight the war on single-use plastic, they can also support companies that are working toward designing more recyclable, compostable or reusable packaging.Even in most digital working environments, we’re still relying on the humble printer to provide us with hard copies of our most valuable documents. While it seems like common sense to turn off all lights in any room you’re not actually using (you can literally post reminder notes next to the light switch in case no one gets the idea), it’s also worth considering replacing all standard bulbs with LEDs. Not only do they provide the same amount of light, but they also use up to 80 percent less energy than standard globes.
