  Waste Minimisation - at work  

General Office Tips

Reduce

• Update mailing list regularly to avoid sending out post unnecessarily or set up an email database and do your mailing electronically.
  
  
• Buy printers, photocopiers and fax machines with options for double-sided printing.
  
  
• Avoid unneccessary printing - a computer filing system is much tidier than a paper one.
  
  
• Use mugs and glasses instead of plastic cups.

Reuse

• Give an envelope a second chance by using it again.
  
  
• Use refillable pens and ink cartridges.
  
  
• Use scrap paper for notepads.

Recycle

• Implement an office recycling scheme - it could save you money.
  
  
• Make recycling easy, move the recycling bin closer to the desk and reduce the number of general waste bins available.
  
  
• Recycle old computers or electronic equipment.
  
  
• Buy recycled - you are not truely recycling unless you close the loop
