CAN YOUR OFFICE GO ZERO WASTE?

As per certain reports, the worldwide production of municipal solid waste amounts to approximately 2.01 billion tons annually, and it is predicted to rise to 3.40 billion tons by the year 2050. Given the growing population and industrialisation, there will be an inevitable increase in waste generation. Hence, waste management is the need of the hour and offices can play a significant role here.

If all the businesses focus on preventing waste, reusing items, making environmentally responsible purchases, and recycling both solid waste and organics, it can help them comply with local, state and federal environmental regulations, while also reducing costs, increasing profits and contributing to environmental protection.

SMART PRINTING

Printing is unavoidable in certain situations. To cut down on paper expenses, instruct employees to set their printer's default settings to double-sided printing and to use the "Print Selection" feature when possible, which helps reduce the amount of wasted paper. This practice can reduce paper usage by up to 50%. Using refillable ink cartridges rather than disposable ones is another way to minimise waste and save money on office supplies. Instead of colour printing, ask your employees to prefer printing the documents in black and white as it uses a lot less ink.

DIGITAL ALTERNATIVES TO PAPER

If you haven't checked out computerbased alternatives to paper in a while, you have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks to tools like Google Docs, which enables free online writing & editing, and Dropbox, a free service that facilitates file syncing and sharing, it is now simpler than ever to decrease paper usage in the workplace.
