Have you ever
considered how sustainable is your workplace? If not, now is the perfect time
to raise awareness and take some effective measures to turn your office eco-friendly.
As humankind has
taken a toll on the well-being of our planet, the only silver-lining that is
visible right now is the awareness amongst the people. From switching to biodegradable disposable tableware to
boycotting single-use plastic cutlery and other products, many initiatives are
taken into account all over the world.
Various popular
brands like Starbucks, Hyatt, Vistara and Indian airlines have taken a bold
move and announced later in 2019 that they will no longer use plastic cutlery
to serve their passengers during the flights. The Indian Railways too had
announced the elimination of plastic bottles and other items in an effort to
reduce plastic waste.
Whether it is
home, workplace or surroundings, the push for the country to be more
sustainable and environmentally friendly is the need of the hour. Also, working
in a place, where the grave concerns of the environment are taken care of help
to increase the productivity and the feeling of mutual responsibility amongst
the co-workers. So, how can you turn your workplace into a greener zone? Let`s
find out:
Recycle, don`t throw
Have a look around your cubicle! We are sure you
will find lots of things that can be recycled instead of getting tossed into
the dustbin. Start with saving paper. Keep containers throughout the office,
easily accessible to the employees. Unless it is an important document that
needs to go into the shredder, try to save as much paper as you can. Used paper
can be reused again for printing, writing down notes or some other way instead of
throwing it into the dustbin.
Use Eco-friendly Disposable Cutlery
Today, the market is filled up to the brim with natural alternatives to various plastic
items. From biodegradable paper bowls,
compostable catering trays, disposable wooden spoons to biodegradable disposable glasses, eco-friendly boxes and sugarcane bagasse plates, are
available in the market easily. Also, brands like Ecoware in India is promoting their products that are 100%
biodegradable and compostable too. Made from sugarcane pulp, these products are
eco-friendly and help reducing waste. You can check out the entire range online and
order in bulk too!
Install Energy Efficient Appliances
The amount of
power your workplace uses contributes directly to the health of the
environment. Hence, get rid of appliances that consume more energy from the
renewable power resources.
