Reduce Office Waste – With the vast majority of us back in the office after almost two years of working from home, more and more waste will start to pile up, and it’ll become difficult to ignore.

Lots of businesses are starting to go green by implementing office recycling programs, but it can be hard to keep the momentum going when you’re running out of waste reduction ideas.

There are hundreds of ways to prevent waste from piling high in the workplace. In this blog we discuss some of the most effective ways to reduce your office waste, from composting to skip hire in Bolton.

Start composting

As part of their waste management plans, many offices are enforcing the collection of their organic waste to help divert more waste away from landfill sites.

Organic waste – including food scraps, paper towels, coffee grinds, and tea bags – is a valuable resource. You can compost it to produce soil fertilisers, enhancing soil quality and reducing soil erosion.

Transition to digital files and electronic invoices

Going paperless isn’t unheard of, especially in 2022.

If you haven’t already transitioned your bills and banking over to online digital services, then what are you waiting for?

You could be taking advantage of the ease and convenience of having everything at your fingertips in an instant, rather than having to root through endless pages and filing cabinets to find what you need.

Encourage your employees to use reusable water bottles

Millions of plastic bottles end up in UK landfill sites each year.

Encouraging your employees to sip from reusable bottles and investing in a water filter machine is a great alternative to having single use plastic bottles piling up in your rubbish bins, which are likely to end up in landfill.

Encourage your employees to bring lunches in reusable containers

To avoid having your employees bring their lunch in plastic bags that mount up in your office bins, you should encourage them to bring their lunches in reusable Tupperware from home.

It’s also a good idea to make sure you have basic cooking facilities available, like a microwave and a single hob, so that your employees aren’t relying on convenience food, filling your bins with single use wrapping.
