Green Office Supplies - A Better Alternative For Your Business

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

One important area where changes have been occurring over the past few years concerns going green at work. One way to do this is through buying post-consumer recycled content like green office paper and recyclable office products.

You can start the process of making your office more eco-friendly by purchasing recycled paper, which contains a higher percentage of post-consumer content, or recycled materials. Check 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 negative effect of releasing toxic organic chemical compounds back into the environment. Use 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 buy. 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 look for when going green at work is your ink cartridges. Choose a green office products company that offers not only recycled 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 eco-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 environmentally friendly office supplies 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 products your business needs if it's not listed in their current inventory.

Here are some useful tips for going green at work:

• Recycle all paper and paper based products
• Consider energy efficiency when buying new business machines
• Participate in a toner cartridge recycling program
• Implement water saving initiatives
• Select environmentally preferable soaps and cleaning products.
• Develop a green purchasing policy, and educate your staff
• Consider purchasing remanufactured toner cartridges

The next time you need office products 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.
