1.Education

Make sure you educate everyone in your office, let them know what is expected of them regarding recycling. You can start with the basics, you can make sure paper cups, drink cans and cardboard are recycled correctly on a daily basis. Then educate people regarding recycling everything from glass, to electronics and light bulbs,

2.Buy Recycled

If you are going to start a recycling scheme in your office, you may as well go full circle and start investing in a high quality recycled products. If you can, start switching to a certain percentage of your existing paper or promotional items for alternative recycling paper.

This will be great for the environment. Recycled goods no longer perceive a low-end or low quality they are seen as highly ethical and responsible and you’ll be doing the environment a great favour.

3.Reusable Items

Do not throw away all foam and paper cups at the coffee machine. Encourage your staff to bring their own mugs from home. If staff only write on one side of their paper, tell them to re-use their paper for printing drafts. There are plenty of ways to re-use everyday items.
