How to start a zero waste lifestyle at work

Paper produces about 60-80% of waste. Think before you print. Consider pull-printing as 30% of printing is never collected from the printer.

Reduce plastic waste

• Remove plastic straws from your office
• Ban disposable cutlery and plates
• Cut down on single-use food packaging
• Switch to reusable drinks bottles and coffee cups
• Decrease product packaging
• Then recycle what's left

Set up an effective bin system with clear labelling to ensure your staff correctly recycle waste.

Educate your staff. Recycling is complicated. Each waste management company uses its own system and has different recycling rules.
