Choosing Green Office Products

Significant changes are now taking place in our homes and offices as more people become aware of the importance of living green and being environmentally responsible for the health of the planet.

One growing area where changes have been taking place over the past few years has to do with making the office greener. One way to do this is through buying post-consumer recycled content like green paper and green office supplies.

You can start the process of making your office greener by purchasing green office paper, which contains a higher percentage of post-consumer content, or recycled materials. inspect the chlorine content of the paper before you purchase. Chlorine is added to paper to help to stay white when exposed to the sun, but this has the downside effect of releasing toxic organic chemical compounds back into the environment. Choose recycled paper wherever possible for your office paper, stationery, business card stock and envelopes, but first make sure that you know what its chlorine content is before you purchase. Ideally, you will want to buy office paper that is chlorine free, sourced from responsible harvesting practices, made using carbon neutral and renewable energy processes and 100% post consumer recycled content.

Another important thing to review when greening your office is your ink cartridges. Choose a green office products supplier that offers not only recyclable toner cartridges, but also a cartridge collection program to help reduce the environmental impact from the manufacturing of new ink and laser cartridges. These program promote a reduction in the disposal of empties into landfill and reduce waste.

Other green office products you can source for your office include environmentally friendly pens, pencils, organizers, binders, notebooks, post-it notes, floor mats, trash containers, recyclable electronic office supplies ... even bio-degradable paper plates and cups for office functions.

In Australia, one of the leading office supply companies that are specializing more and more in catering to the needs of green offices is Penfold by Office Choice (penfoldoc.com.au). Their "Green Choice" initiative assists customers wanting to make their business greener via the implementation of a green office and offers a wide range of eco office products which can be ordered online or purchased from any of their retail locations in Sydney, Melbourne or Adelaide. They will even source any green office supplies you need if it's not listed in their current inventory.

Here are some useful tips for going green at work:

• Participate in a toner cartridge recycling program
• Monitor your lighting usage
• Select environmentally preferable soaps and cleaning products.
• Develop a green purchasing policy, and educate your staff
• Investigate the copy paper you are using; consider things like environmental certification, recycled content, country of origin, milling practices and greenhouse benefits.
• Implement water saving initiatives
• Minimize landfill - decommission your machines when they reach end of life

The next time you need supplies for your business or home office, consider buying green and look for sustainable office supplies that have been made from products that have either been recycled, or that are made using recyclable materials, that are manufactured and marketed in a sustainable manner, and that have less impact on the environment than traditional office products. You can save money and help the planet at the same time.
