Eco Office Products - How to come to be Greener

We are all becoming more aware of steps we can take to make our working environments more 'eco friendly' ie switching off lights, when leaving rooms not in use, not leaving electrical appliances on standby, recycling appropriately and ditching disposable cups in favour of china or ceramic items.

In increasing to these, there are supplementary measures we can take towards manufacture our working lives even more eco aware.

Printer Inkjet

A plethora of products are now available for us to use in our offices and at home which are facilely available to order positively and safely on line. This shopping method, recovery both our time, and the most costly commodity, fuel.

An easy way to make a variation is with recycled paper, ideal for office use and produced from 100% household waste. Great for the environment, accredited by Greenpeace and guaranteed for use in laser and inkjet printers alike and also photocopiers.

Continuing with the paper theme, why not use recycled notepads? These are available in varying sizes and may have been tyres, juice cartons, cardboard boxes or containers in a previous life.

When writing on our eco friendly paper and note pads, we can use recycled pens and pencils. These products may have been made from items such as car parts, games consoles or crisp packets which may have ended their days in a land fill site. A full range is available from ballpoint and roller ball pens, permanent and whiteboard markers, pens with extra fine tips to colouring pencils. All work just as well as their non recycled counterparts.

An innovation is the stapler that doesn't need staples! How much metal could be saved each year with one of these? It's handheld and will clip up to three pages together by using a clever cutting and folding action.

Another super idea - the water powered calculator. Unlike the solar powered variety, it will function regardless of light supply. It is powered by an H20 battery, which will last two to three years with continuous use and all it's components are recyclable. A constant power supply is maintained by refilling the battery as the water evaporates. If stored in it's dry state, it will last indefinitely.

Did you know that most padded envelopes cannot be recycled? It makes sense therefore, to re use them as much as possible. There's a handy sticky label dispenser available which sits well on the office desk. It is made from 100% recycled cardboard and dispenses adhesive labels cleanly and efficiently.

Becoming 'eco aware' is absolutely becoming easier.
