Five simple steps towards and eco friendly office
                     Five simple 
steps towards 
and eco friendly 
office
Every year Earth Day reminds us 
that there are always more ways 
for enterprises and employees to 
adopt environmentally-friendly 
policies on how we can make our 
office eco-friendly..
SO LET’S DISCUSS 
FIVE STEPS 
TOWARDS AN ECO 
FRIENDLY OFFICE
USE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY OFFICE PRODUCTS
They cost just 5 per cent more on average, which is 
a low price to pay to minimise waste and 
emissions. Start tiny-100 % recycled paper, 
cartridges of refillable ink, non-toxic highlighters 
etc. Check out Frog file in Vancouver as a great 
place to stock up on the eco friendly office goods.
USE ELECTRICITY WISELY
Switch off all computers, printers, photocopiers and other 
devices that need not be turned on at the end of the day 
and leave them off before you have to use them again. 
Make sure all computers / monitors are set to their most 
energy-efficient settings (e.g., monitor set to shut down 
after 15 minutes with no use). Turn off the lights when you 
leave a room for more than a few minutes. Using compact 
fluorescent lamps, rather than incandescent bulbs
USE NON-TOXIC CLEANING 
PRODUCTS
Many brands nowadays are available, such as Nature Clean, 
Norwex, and oxygarden, Process, Ecover, Orange TKO and Pink 
Solution. Encourage the cleaning company to use green 
products for cleaning and move to one of the many businesses 
that already use environmentally friendly products if they don't. 
REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE
Reduce, reuse, recycle means more than just tossing 
(although you don't need to avoid doing that) old 
notepaper into the blue bin. Think truly of everything you 
use. In the water cooler, do you need disposable cups? A 
fourth R-Refuse has been introduced by Australia. Put 
simply: Don't buy things that you don't need. And when you 
make a purchase take your own bags with you.
