Environmentally friendly office supplies: Making sustainable choices

A environmentally conscious office is an important step towards sustainability. But how can one as the person responsible for workplace design find environmentally friendly office supplies? Here are some tips on how to make sustainable decisions:

Choose sustainable office equipment

When selecting office furniture and accessories, it is advisable to look for sustainable options. Furniture made of wood from FSC-certified forests and seat cushions made from recycled materials are good examples. There are also lights and other electrical appliances with the Energy Star label that consume less energy and thus conserve resources.

Use eco-friendly office materials

An easy way to promote sustainability in the office is to use eco-friendly office materials. Paper products and disposable tableware made from recycled materials and without chemical additives are a good choice. Pencils and pens made of wood or recycled plastic are also ecological alternatives to conventional products.

Ecological workplace design

Placing plants in the office can not only improve air quality but also help employees feel more comfortable. Furnishings should be placed so as not to cause energy loss, for example, radiators should not be covered by furniture. Efficient spatial design can also improve the working climate. 

Sustainability as a goal

Sustainability should be a priority in every aspect of office life. Recycling stations should be placed near work areas to facilitate the recycling of paper, plastic, and other waste materials. Transportation to work can also be made sustainable by providing bicycle racks and e-bike charging stations.

Conclusion

An environmentally friendly office can help reduce harmful impacts on the environment. Therefore, companies and employees should take structured sustainable measures and consider sustainability when deciding on office supplies and workplace design. Small changes can already have a big impact on environmental protection and help conserve resources.
